How does Jesus fulfill the law and the prophets?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus perfectly fulfills the law by obeying its requirements and embodying its righteousness.

Jesus is described as the fulfillment of both the law and the prophets due to His perfect obedience and ultimate sacrifice for sin. The law cannot provide righteousness; rather, it points to Christ, who alone can satisfy its demands. Through His life and death, Christ accomplished what the law could not do, bringing righteousness to all who believe in Him. Thus, He embodies both the justice and mercy of God.
