Why is Christ referred to as the 'Ark'?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is referred to as the 'Ark' because He embodies salvation and the presence of God among His people.

The imagery of the Ark, as seen in the Old Testament, symbolizes God's presence and the covenant of grace made with His people. In the sermon, it is articulated that Christ fulfills this typology as 'the Ark'—the embodiment of salvation and the mercy of God. The Ark contained the covenant, the law, and the manna, representing the sustenance and guidance offered by God. Similarly, Jesus is the fulfillment of the law and the true bread of life, as stated in John 6:35. Furthermore, the mercy seat atop the Ark signifies how Christ is the ultimate atonement for sin through His sacrificial death, making Him central to understanding God's covenant with humanity.
