Hello Franklinc.. We do see glimpses of Jesus Christ, in the prophet Jeremiah, both in his person and writings. Even some of the people of Jesus' day wondered whether this Jesus personified one of the OT prophets, such as Jeremiah ( Matthew 16:13,14). Whether they actually saw something about Jesus' Life and Ministry that led them to wonder or maybe they believed that Jesus came in the spirit and power of those men, we can't know.
Jeremiah prophesied about Jesus (not by Name of course) in Jerermiah 23:5,6; and this prophecy is still future when Jesus returns to Earth and sits on the 'Throne of David'.
Jeremiah also speaks about a New Covenant ( Jeremiah 31:31-34). Although Jesus brought in a New Covenant in His Blood, which we are the blessed recipients of, Israel by-and-large have rejected it to this day. But this is the final Covenant, for no greater can be made other than through God's Son's Sacrifice. But the day will come when the fulfilment of this Covenant will be realized when all Jewry will acknowledge the Giver of this Covenant & be transformed in the inner man.
Jeremiah 11:19-21; Jeremiah 20:7-18. The prophet suffered very much physically. Even as Isaiah spoke of Jesus being "brought as a lamb to the slaughter" ( Isaiah 53:7), Jeremiah voices the same grief unto himself ( Jeremiah 11:19).
Jesus seems to quote Jeremiah in His castigation of the temple merchants ( Matthew 21:12,13; cf Jeremiah 7:9-11).
So, a few examples that I could think of that hopefully addresses your question. Blessings.
