How do we know Jesus' claim to be the Messiah is true?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' claim as the Messiah is validated by His genealogy, which fulfills Old Testament prophecies.

The validation of Jesus as the Messiah is intricately linked to His genealogy. Matthew meticulously outlines this lineage, demonstrating that Jesus is a direct descendant of both David and Abraham. This lineage was prophesied in the Old Testament, ensuring that the anticipated Messiah would emerge from these figures. The establishment of His claim is further bolstered by miraculous events surrounding His birth and by the fulfillment of prophetic statements that pinpoint His identity. Therefore, the genealogical record not only ties Jesus to the covenantal promises made by God but serves as a foundational truth in Christian belief regarding His Messiahship.
