How do we know Moses wrote about Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

Moses wrote about Jesus, as stated in John 5:46, where it says, 'For had you believed Moses, you would have believed me; for he wrote of me.'

The connection between Moses' writings and Jesus is explicitly affirmed by Christ in John 5:46. Here, Jesus states, 'For had you believed Moses, you would have believed me; for he wrote of me.' This highlights the prophetic nature of the Pentateuch, wherein Moses foreshadows the coming Messiah through various narratives and theological themes. Understanding that Moses wrote under divine inspiration allows us to see the entire Old Testament, particularly the Torah, as pointing towards the person and work of Christ. In studying Moses' writings, Christians should be sensitive to the Christocentric nature of the text, recognizing that the story of redemption unfolds through God's covenant promises.
