How do we know that the Old Testament reveals Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

The New Testament confirms that the Old Testament contains prophecies and types that point to Jesus as the Messiah.

The New Testament writers, including Jesus Himself, asserted that the Old Testament points to Him. In John 5:39, Jesus instructs His audience to search the scriptures, asserting that they testify of Him. Furthermore, the apostles used the Old Testament to clarify the gospel, as evidenced in Acts, where they reasoned from the scriptures that Christ must suffer and rise again. The Old Testament contains many types, figures, and prophecies, such as the Passover lamb and the prophet Isaiah’s writings, that prefigure the coming of Christ. Thus, through diligent study, we can see how the entire narrative of the Old Testament builds towards the fulfillment found in Jesus.
