How do we know that Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament laws?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament laws and ordinances, leaving the temple desolate because He completed what they pointed towards.

The fulfillment of the Old Testament laws by Jesus is a central tenet of Christian faith rooted in the belief that the ceremonial laws and sacrifices were mere shadows of the reality found in Christ. As expressed in Matthew 23:38, Jesus declared that the temple's glory had departed as He had perfected the law through His life, death, and resurrection. This fulfillment means that the Old Testament rituals are no longer necessary; Jesus has become the ultimate mediator between God and man, and our worship now occurs in spirit and truth, rather than through the obsolete systems of sacrificial offerings and ceremonies. By fulfilling the law, Jesus established a new way for believers to relate to God, emphasizing a personal relationship rather than ritualistic observance.
