How does Christ fulfill the prophecies of the Old Testament?

The Old Testament is replete with prophecies concerning the coming Messiah, and Jesus fulfills these expectations in several key ways. As the lineage of David (Matthew 1:1) and the one whom the prophets testified of, he embodies the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan. He is not only the predicted kingly figure but also the suffering servant who comes to redeem his people from their sins (Matthew 1:21). Furthermore, his life, death, and resurrection execute the very purposes that God had ordained long before. This fulfillment assures believers that God's promises are trustworthy, and Christ is the pivotal figure in God's unfolding narrative, which is ultimately centered on redemption.
