What does Jesus say about Moses and the Old Testament?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus affirms that Moses wrote the Old Testament, emphasizing its authenticity and divine inspiration.

In John 5:46-47, Jesus asserts, 'Had you believed Moses, you would have believed me, for he wrote of me.' This emphatic statement not only validates the person of Moses but also reinforces the truthfulness of the Old Testament writings attributed to him. By aligning himself with the teachings of Moses, Jesus underscores the continuity of Scripture and the testimony of God leading up to the New Covenant. The idea that Moses may not have authored these texts, as posited by modern skepticism, is unacceptable in light of Christ's clear endorsement. The New Testament continually treats the Old Testament as authoritative, urging believers to stand firm in their faith in its truths.
