What does the table and showbread represent?

Answered in 1 source

The table and showbread symbolize the communion and fellowship believers have with Christ.

The table of showbread in the tabernacle illustrates the intimate fellowship believers share with Christ. The twelve loaves, representing the twelve tribes of Israel, signify God's provision and sustenance. In the New Testament, this reflects how Christ, the bread of life, nourishes His people spiritually. Just as David showed kindness to Mephibosheth, God's grace extends to us, welcoming us to His table through Christ. This communion, grounded in God's electing and redeeming grace, emphasizes the relational aspect of salvation and the ongoing sustenance provided through faith in Christ.
