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

Answered in 1 source

The Old Testament narratives are fulfilled and illuminate the person and work of Jesus Christ.

Throughout the Old Testament, stories and figures such as Abraham, Joseph, and David serve as types or shadows pointing forward to Jesus Christ. The New Testament writings reveal that these historical accounts, rather than mere moral examples, foreshadow the coming of the Savior. Understanding that both the historical context and the Christological significance are present helps us appreciate the Scriptures' depth and reveals God's redemptive plan across both Testaments.
