Robert Murray M'Cheyne emphasizes the significance of the Jewish Tabernacle as a shadow of Christ, illustrating how the Mosaic covenant served as a precursor to the Christian covenant. He explains that while the Tabernacle was a worldly sanctuary where God dwelled among His people, it ultimately pointed to the greater and perfect Tabernacle, which is Christ Himself. M'Cheyne highlights the various elements of the Tabernacle, such as the candlestick and the table of shew-bread, as representations of Christ and His sustenance for believers. He urges the congregation to seek a deeper understanding of these divine truths, stressing that Christ is the substance of all Old Testament types and the source of true nourishment for the soul. The sermon calls for a serious inquiry into divine matters, encouraging believers to engage deeply with their faith.
