How do the teachings of Jeremiah relate to the New Testament's message of Jesus Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Jeremiah's teachings foreshadow the coming of Jesus Christ, presenting Him as the Fountain of Living Water and the Good Shepherd.

Jeremiah’s prophecies are rich with references to the coming Savior, Jesus Christ. In Jeremiah 2:13, he refers to God as the 'fountain of waters,' indicating that Christ is the source of spiritual life and nourishment. Similarly, in Jeremiah 31:10-11, God promises to gather His scattered sheep, a theme echoed by Jesus in John 10, where He identifies Himself as the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep. These connections affirm that the Old Testament prophets, including Jeremiah, prepare the way for the full revelation of God's grace through Christ.
