Answered in 4 sources
Jesus' miracles serve as proof of His identity as the promised Messiah foretold in the Scriptures.
The miracles of Jesus are central to the argument for His messianic identity. They fulfill prophecies found in the Old Testament, such as Isaiah 61:1, which speaks of the Messiah bringing sight to the blind and healing the brokenhearted. Additionally, the manner in which Jesus performed these miracles—often accompanied by compassion and a call to faith—illustrates the character of the promised One. The collective witness of these miracles provided assurance to those who recognized Him as the Son of God and the Savior of sinners, clearly establishing His authority and divine purpose.
