The Bible emphasizes Christ as our representative through His life, death, and resurrection, fulfilling the role foreshadowed by Moses.
In Scripture, Christ is depicted as our ultimate representative and substitute, a truth grounded in His fulfillments of the Old Testament types, particularly in the figure of Moses. Moses acted on behalf of the Israelites, interceding for them and leading them to God's promise of salvation. Similarly, Christ fulfills this role by interceding for us before the Father, offering Himself as the perfect sacrifice for our sins (Hebrews 7:25). His life and work embody the true representation we need before a holy God, as He perfectly obeyed the law and satisfied divine justice. The assurance of His representative work is foundational for understanding our salvation and relationship with God.
