How does the Old Testament portray Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

The Old Testament foreshadows Jesus through prophecies and typologies that culminate in His life and work.

The Old Testament serves as a foundational narrative that points to Jesus Christ, revealing Him through prophecies, types, and shadows. Throughout scripture, figures such as Abraham, Moses, and David prefigure Christ, portraying aspects of His redemptive work and character. This culminates in Jesus as the true sacrificial Lamb and the fulfillment of all Old Testament sacrifices. Paul highlighted this connection in Acts 13, teaching that the entire Old Testament contains voices that testify of the coming Messiah. Understanding Jesus within this context enriches the believer's faith and deepens their appreciation of God's grand redemptive narrative from Genesis to Revelation.
