How did Jesus prove He was the Redeemer of Israel?

During His three years of earthly ministry, Jesus proved who He really was by His miracles. Those miraculous works validated His claim that He was indeed the Redeemer of Israel, just as Moses was earlier proven as God’s deliverer by sign miracles.

Les explains that redemption in Exodus required a person, Moses, who had to be proven as the legitimate leader and deliverer by sign miracles: his rod became serpents, his hand became leprous and was healed. In the same way, the person in our redemption process was the Lord Jesus, who during His three years of earthly ministry proved who He really was by His miracles and validated His claim that He was indeed the Redeemer of Israel. Israel in Exodus was helpless, enslaved, with no armed forces, economic clout, or political clout, and God was going to do the redeeming.
