How Can You Know That Jesus Is the Messiah?

When John the Baptist questioned whether Jesus was truly the Messiah, Jesus pointed to the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies through His miraculous works and gospel proclamation. Christ validates His messengers like John, who faithfully prepare the way for the kingdom despite persecution and doubt. Through faith in Jesus, even the least in God's kingdom receives a status greater than the greatest prophet, demonstrating the transformative power of belonging to Christ.
