Why is Jesus considered our tabernacle?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is referred to as our tabernacle because He is the fulfillment of the Old Testament sacrificial system, the meeting place between God and man.

The term 'tabernacle' signifies Jesus as the dwelling place of God among humanity. In John 1:14, the word 'dwelt' is derived from the Greek word meaning 'to tabernacle,' indicating that Jesus is the anti-type of the Old Testament tabernacle where God's presence was manifest. Just as the Old Testament tabernacle was a place for sacrifice and communion with God, Christ fulfills this role by offering Himself as the ultimate sacrifice for sin. This understanding teaches that Jesus is not merely a historical figure but the singular and necessary means of meeting with God, emphasizing the exclusivity of salvation through Him.
