How do we know Jesus is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies?

Answered in 26 sources

Jesus is confirmed as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies through direct references in the New Testament that link His life and sacrifice to specific prophetic events.

The undeniable connection between Jesus and Old Testament prophecies is illustrated in passages like Matthew 27:9-10, which links Judas's betrayal for thirty pieces of silver to the prophecy in Zechariah 11:12-13. This provides a clear indication of Jesus's role as the fulfillment of the Messianic prophecies concerning the suffering servant. Similarly, Philip's explanation to the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8:35 demonstrates that the Scriptures regarding the suffering servant in Isaiah are ultimately speaking of Jesus. These back-references confirm the consistent narrative of redemption throughout Scripture, affirming Christ as the promised Messiah who meets the expectations laid out in the Old Testament.
