What does the Bible say about the role of Christ in the Old Testament?

Answered in 1 source

The Old Testament scriptures, referred to as the Law and the Prophets, are centered around Jesus Christ and testify of Him.

The Old Testament, referred to by Paul as the Law and the Prophets, encompasses everything from Genesis to Malachi and is fundamentally about Jesus Christ. Paul preached that these scriptures point to Christ’s suffering and glory, emphasizing that understanding the entirety of the scriptures requires knowing Him. Jesus confirms this in John 5:39, stating, 'You search the scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me.' Therefore, the key to unlocking the meaning of the Old Testament is through the lens of Christ's life, work, and purpose of salvation.
