How do we know that Christ is the theme of the Old Testament?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is the theme of the Old Testament as every prophecy, type, and law points to Him as the fulfillment of all God's promises.

The Old Testament is replete with references and foreshadowings of Christ. From the sacrifices outlined in the Law to the prophetic utterances of the prophets, everything is designed to point towards Jesus as the ultimate Savior. For example, Genesis 22 illustrates God providing a ram as a substitute for Isaac, a precursor to Christ's ultimate sacrifice for sinners. Similarly, the prophetic declaration found in Isaiah 53 provides a detailed account of the suffering servant, illuminating Christ’s future atoning work. These patterns and prophecies demonstrate that understanding the Old Testament without recognizing it as pointing to Christ misses the essence of biblical revelation.
