Jesus & The Tabernacle // Exodus 25-40

Discover how the Old Testament tabernacle reveals Jesus Christ as our ultimate High Priest and perfect sacrifice. Every detail of the tabernacle was divinely designed to point to Jesus, from the bronze altar representing His sacrifice at Calvary to the torn veil symbolizing our direct access to God through Him. Learn how the five offerings at the bronze altar foreshadowed different aspects of Christ's atonement, and how elements like the bronze laver, golden lampstand, table of showbread, and altar of incense all reveal Jesus' ministry. Hebrews 7-10 explains how Jesus is superior to the earthly priesthood, offering Himself once for all and sitting down at God's right hand because His work is complete. Unlike the repeated animal sacrifices that merely covered sin, Jesus' sacrifice removes sin completely. The ark of the covenant, with its contents of the Ten Commandments, Aaron's rod, and manna, further illustrates how Jesus fulfills God's law, serves as our chosen High Priest, and provides eternal sustenance. This teaching transforms our understanding of Old Testament 'rules and regulations' into a beautiful picture of God's redemptive plan through Christ. Discover the freedom of knowing that your access to God depends not on your efforts but solely on Jesus' finished work.
