How do we know that Jesus is the true authority?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is the true authority because He comes from God and speaks the words of God, seeking to glorify the Father rather than Himself.

The authority of Jesus is established in His divine origins and His alignment with the Father's will. As He states, His teaching does not originate from Himself but from the One who sent Him, which reinforces His role as the divine revealer of God's truth. This deep connection to the Father demonstrates His credibility as a teacher and authority. Moreover, Jesus’ humility and refusal to seek self-glory further attest to His rightful place as the authoritative voice of God. In contrast to those who seek their own glory, Jesus’ focus is always on glorifying the Father, which assures believers that His teachings are rooted in divine truth.
