How do we know Christ's sacrifice is foreshadowed in the Old Testament?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's sacrifice is foreshadowed through various offerings made by Old Testament patriarchs that point to the ultimate atonement.

Throughout the Old Testament, the sacrificial system established by God served to foreshadow the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Each figure, from Noah to Abraham, made offerings that were often animal sacrifices, signifying the need for atonement for sin. For instance, Abraham's near sacrifice of Isaac in Genesis 22 serves as a striking prefiguration of the sacrifice of Christ, which highlights the themes of faith and divine provision. The continuity of this theme—from Genesis through the Levitical laws—demonstrates a unified biblical narrative culminating in Christ.
