I do no think it is very hard to stuff Jesus into the OT once you layout or define the characteristics of Jesus and then compare to the OT.
Many, rely on an understanding that the OT taught violence (mostly) and the Jesus taught peace (mostly), and that the God portayed was not the same God from OT to NT.
When I examine the role or purpose surrounding Jesus in the NT I instantly see a figure promised in the OT. Without going off on tangents, can we at least start with this basic premise? The OT promised a savior to come? Doesn't matter if it was Jesus, but certainly that is one characteristic that fits both OT and NT.
