How do we know that the Scripture points to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, testify of Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan.

The testimony of Scripture points unmistakably to Jesus Christ as the central figure of God's redemptive narrative. In John 5:39, Jesus exhorts the Pharisees to search the Scriptures because they testify of Him. This refers to the Old Testament scriptures, which were written before Christ's earthly ministry. Throughout the Scriptures, we find types and shadows that point to the substance, Christ Himself. For instance, the sacrificial lambs in the Old Testament foreshadow the ultimate sacrificial Lamb, Jesus. As we study various biblical figures and events, it's essential to recognize how they point towards the culmination of God's promise in Christ, as He is the fulfillment of all the Scriptures.
