What is the significance of the ephod in relation to Jesus Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The ephod signifies Christ's priesthood and the importance of His intercession for believers.

In the Old Testament, the ephod worn by the high priest, as described in Exodus 28 and Exodus 39, represents the beauty and glory of Christ's priestly ministry. The ephod featured the names of the twelve tribes on its shoulders, symbolizing that the high priest carried the people before God. This foreshadows the role of Christ as our great high priest who not only intercedes for us but also bears our burdens. His perfect sacrifice allows Him to represent us fully before God, ensuring our access to the Father. The intricate design of the ephod, made of gold and precious materials, illustrates the divine glory and majesty of Christ, reinforcing the reality of His priestly office and the significance of His mediation.
