How does the tabernacle illustrate the work of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The tabernacle serves as a vivid representation of Christ, showcasing His roles as priest, sacrifice, and mediator.

In the sermon, the tabernacle is depicted as a foreshadowing of Christ's redemptive work on Earth. Each component—from the brazen altar, symbolizing His sacrificial death, to the mercy seat, which embodies His atoning work—points to Him as the fulfillment of the Old Testament types and shadows. The tabernacle's layout, with its singular entrance, emphasizes that Christ is the sole way to God. The continual sacrifices represent the need for atonement, which Christ accomplished fully and finally at the cross. Thus, the tabernacle illustrates the multifaceted roles of Christ as Savior and highlights God's desire to dwell among His people through His Son.
