How do we know that the Psalms speak of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The New Testament confirms that the psalms testify about Christ's life and mission.

The belief that the Psalms speak of Christ is firmly grounded in New Testament writings, where numerous quotations connect the life and sufferings of Jesus to the psalms. For instance, the words of Psalm 22, which express profound sorrow, are echoed in the Gospels during Christ's crucifixion. Moreover, Luke 24 explicitly states that all the scriptures, including the psalms, point to Christ. Their theological significance extends beyond mere historical context; they encapsulate prophecies and truths about His person, work, and the mission of redemption, illustrating that the spirit of prophecy in the Psalms is intrinsically tied to the life and sacrifices of Jesus, thus confirming their messianic character.
