Through examining data, forming a hypothesis/claim, weighing the evidence, and then rendering a verdict we can come to a firm conclusion on a case. To build a good claim, it needs to be plausible, relevant to the evidence, and testable. Jesus' claims as Messiah were backed by strong witnesses, strong manuscripts, and historical facts. With no plausible alternatives that can withstand these tests, we can come to an informed decision about who Jesus is.
