This is a Christ's point of view. A Christian just knows, that one of those Christs was the real one. Most probably the first one, also known as "the real one".
It's a great story, though.
EDIT: I should wrote "A Christian just knows" inside quotation marks. He thinks he knows. (As we all always do. We think we know, and sometimes we actually do know.)
If Jesus could see the entirety of history, then he could see whether he is the first "Jesus Christ". Given that the extra Christs are all explained by delusional patients copying the first Christ, this would be some sort of evidence (to himself) whether he is the real one.
Counterpoint: as Satan explains, it's all a hallucination anyway.
