How do we know that Jesus fulfills the Law and the Prophets?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus fulfills the Law and the Prophets, as affirmed in Matthew 5:17, signifying the completion of Old Testament prophecies.

Matthew 5:17 states that Jesus came not to abolish the Law or the Prophets but to fulfill them. This fulfillment means that all the sacrificial systems, prophetic messages, and moral commands in the Old Testament point to Christ as their ultimate purpose. Moses and Elijah appearing on the Mount of Transfiguration, as recorded in Luke 9:30-31, illustrates that their roles were to prepare for the coming of Jesus, who alone accomplishes redemption. Thus, the law serves as a guide pointing to humanity's need for a Savior, which Christ perfectly fulfills through His life, sacrificial death, and resurrection.
