How do we know Jesus fulfilled Old Testament prophecies?

Answered in 3 sources

Jesus' life and ministry are replete with fulfillments of Old Testament prophecies that identify Him as the Messiah.

The New Testament consistently refers to Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. Each prophetic statement made in the Old Testament is shown to align perfectly with events in Jesus' life. For instance, in Luke 24:44, Jesus Himself affirmed that everything written about Him in the Law of Moses, the prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled. This demonstrates that the prophecies are not mere coincidences but reflect God's sovereign plan. The account of His triumphal entry, as noted in Matthew 21, serves as a clear confirmation that Jesus is the promised King foretold by Zechariah. Such connections validate the truth of the scriptures and the divine nature of Christ's mission.
