What does the Bible say about Christ fulfilling the Old Testament?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Christ is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies and ceremonial laws.

The theological significance of Christ fulfilling the Old Testament is paramount in Reformed theology. The apostles and early church focused extensively on proving from the Scriptures that Jesus was indeed the promised Messiah. They demonstrated that the entirety of the Old Testament, particularly the ceremonial law, was designed to point towards Christ as the Redeemer. For instance, Hebrews elaborately discusses how Christ's priesthood is unchangeable and His sacrifice eternal. Thus, everything from the ceremonial laws to the prophetic writings found their ultimate expression in Christ, signifying that He is the culmination of God's redemptive plan.
