How does the Laver relate to Christ's work?

Answered in 1 source

The Laver symbolizes Christ’s cleansing power and the need for believers to continually seek His Word for purity.

The Laver holds significant typological meaning related to Christ. In John 13:10, Jesus speaks of the need to wash one's feet, indicating that while we are washed once for all in His redemptive work, we still need to maintain cleanliness in our daily walk through interaction with a sinful world. The water in the Laver represents the Word of God, which offers continual cleansing and guidance. As believers engage with the Scriptures, they find refreshing and purifying truth that empowers their spiritual journey. Consequently, the Laver’s placement and function remind us of Christ's sufficiency and the necessity of returning to Him for that daily spiritual renewal as we navigate our lives.
