Summary
Which had the golden censer, and **the ark of the covenant** overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. (Hebrews 9:4-5) *1/ Christ's person is seen. 2/ Christ's work is seen. 3/ How Christ is set forth is seen.* **Sermon summary:** The sermon explores the Ark of the Covenant as a profound type of Jesus Christ, examining its construction and contents to reveal theological truths about His person and work. The shittim wood overlaid with gold illustrates Christ's dual nature as fully human and fully divine, while the items within the ark symbolize His role as spiritual sustenance, legitimate high priest, and fulfiller of the law. The mercy seat and cherubim highlight the provision of mercy through blood and the open way to God made possible by Christ's sacrifice. The preaching emphasizes that the Old Testament shadows point directly to the reality of Jesus, who now intercedes in heaven and guides His people through life. This exposition aims to strengthen believers' faith by connecting the historical tabernacle rituals to the gospel fulfilment in the New Testament.
