How do we know Jesus' authority is true?

Answered in 17 sources

The authority of Jesus is confirmed through His fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and His unique claims during His ministry.

The authority of Jesus is well-founded in biblical prophecies that He fulfilled. The sermon highlights numerous Old Testament predictions regarding the Messiah, including His virgin birth, descent from David, and ministry of healing. These prophetic confirmations validate His claims about being God and also serve as a testament to His sovereignty and divine plan. Additionally, Jesus' ability to perform miracles and His teachings, which carried an authority unlike any other, further affirm that He is indeed the Messiah. His resurrection, the ultimate victory over sin and death, solidifies His claim to sovereignty and authority over all creation.
