How does the labor reflect Christ's work for us?

Answered in 1 source

The laver represents Christ's work of cleansing, illustrating the necessity of washing in His blood to be clean before God.

In Exodus 38:8, we see that the laver was made from the polished brass of mirrors, symbolizing how Christ reflects God's perfection and holiness. Just as the priests had to wash before ministering, we too must be cleansed through Christ's sacrifice. This laver showcases both the necessity of cleansing and the availability of the cleansing water, which is the work of the Holy Spirit bringing the efficacy of Christ's blood to our souls. The connection between the altar and the labor reflects the dual aspects of redemption: justification through Christ’s blood and sanctification through the washing of the Spirit, demonstrating that no approach to God is permissible without this cleansing process.
