How do we know that Jesus is the hope of Israel?

Paul, during his ministry, consistently pointed to Jesus as the fulfillment of the hope of Israel. This is reinforced in Romans 15:12, where it states, 'The root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; in him the Gentiles will hope.' Jesus Christ embodies the ultimate hope for salvation and reconciliation with God, underscoring that there is no other means to salvation outside of Him (John 14:6). Throughout the Old Testament and in Paul’s preaching, Jesus is identified as the prophesied Messiah who changes everything for both Jews and Gentiles alike.
