How do we know that Jesus fulfilled Old Testament prophecies?

Answered in 6 sources

Jesus fulfilled Old Testament prophecies as seen in the preaching of the apostles, specifically Peter in Acts 3, which recounts how Christ’s suffering was foretold by the prophets.

The New Testament writers, particularly Peter in Acts 3:18 and 24-26, illustrate that the suffering and resurrection of Christ were clearly prophesied in the Old Testament. From Moses to the other prophets, all pointed forward to Jesus as the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan. This is crucial for solidifying the belief that Jesus is not just a historical figure but the long-awaited Messiah. By highlighting these fulfillments, the apostles reaffirm the reliability and divine inspiration of Scripture, rooting Christian faith in the revelation of God through the ages.
