How does the Old Testament preach Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Old Testament preaches Christ through its sacrificial system, which points to His ultimate atoning work on the cross.

The Old Testament serves as a rich theological narrative that foreshadows the coming Christ through the sacrificial system established by God. Each offering, from the burnt offerings to the sin and peace offerings, embodies aspects of Christ’s redemptive work. For example, the sin offering illustrates Christ's bearing of our sin, while the burnt offering signifies our acceptance in him. By studying these offerings, we come to understand how they cumulatively reveal the holiness of God and the magnitude of Christ's love and sacrifice. As believers connect these teachings, they see the continuous thread of redemption that culminates in the sacrifice of Jesus, fulfilling all that the law and prophets had anticipated.
