How do we know that the Old Testament points to Christ?

The assertion that the Old Testament points to Christ is substantiated throughout Scripture. In the sermon, the preacher emphasizes that Christ is the subject of all Scripture, including the Old Testament narratives such as Ruth. Hebrews 1:1 states that God has spoken through the prophets, and Luke 24:27 highlights how Jesus explained the Scriptures concerning Himself. The typology found in figures like Boaz, who represents Christ, serves as a testament to this truth. The Old Testament’s sacrificial system, the law, and the covenants all foreshadow the ultimate sacrifice of Christ. Thus, every Old Testament narrative contributes to the grand story of redemption fulfilled in Him.
