How do we know that Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament?

Answered in 4 sources

Jesus fulfills Old Testament prophecies and types, as demonstrated in the life of Joseph and many other figures.

The fulfillment of the Old Testament in Jesus manifests through various prophecies and types that consistently point towards Him as the Messiah. The life and experiences of characters such as Joseph vividly illustrate this truth. As Joseph's life was marked by suffering, betrayal, and eventual exaltation, it mirrors Christ's suffering and ultimate glory. This understanding is supported by the apostle Philip, who recognized Christ in the law and the prophets. Such typological readings invite believers to see Jesus as the culmination of God's redemptive plan, consistently affirmed through the scriptures.
