Why is it significant that Jesus performed miracles to prove His identity?

In Luke 7:21-22, when John's disciples asked if Jesus was the Messiah, Jesus instructed them to tell John about the miracles He was performing. These acts were not just displays of power; they were significant in that they fulfilled the prophetic expectations outlined in the Old Testament regarding the Messiah. For instance, Isaiah 35 speaks of the blind receiving sight and the lame walking, and Jesus' miracles aligned perfectly with these prophecies, confirming His identity as the long-awaited Deliverer. This strengthens the faith of believers as they see the truth of God's Word being fulfilled through Christ’s ministry.
