This is absolutely true and crucially important! Jesus connects himself to his Old Testament context by repeatedly asserting the full inspiration and authority of the Old Testament scripture. Neglecting the Old Testament context of Jesus allows people to commit grave heresies by inserting their own favorite non-Christian beliefs and attitudes into their ignorant reconstruction of Jesus.

What’s a Jewish Messiah? Why were they looking for Him? How did they know to look for Him? How would they have known what to be on the lookout for? All answers found in the Old Testament

When my former beta pastor told me "Read the Old Testament, but be careful you don't fall in love with it, because what is important is the New Testament", I knew he was full of BS. I answered "If we don't read the Old (which is the promise), we wouldn't know how to appreciate the fulfillment of the promise in the New." He rebutted that, but I didn't listen to him anymore after that. He preaches a more gynocentric Jesus. Of course, because he doesn't read the Old Testament!

The two go hand in hand. To say otherwise is blasphemous. Jesus was Jewish.

We often approach the New Testament as if it were a standalone story, but it’s actually the continuation of a much older one. The words, symbols, and even the worldview of Jesus are deeply woven into the fabric of the Hebrew Bible and the language of His people. When we set aside that context, we risk creating a version of Jesus disconnected from history. Understanding Him means tracing His words back to their roots.
