Exodus 25:30

shewbread

Showbread, type of Christ, the Bread of God, nourisher of the Christian's life as a believer-priest (1 Peter 2:9); (Revelation 1:6). In (John 6:33) our Lord has more in mind the manna, that food which "came down"; but all typical meanings of "bread" are there gathered into His words. The manna is the life-giving Christ; the showbread, the life-sustaining Christ. The showbread typifies Christ as the "corn of wheat" (John 12:24) ground in the mill of suffering (John 12:27) and brought into the fire of judgment (John 12:31). We, as priests, by faith feed upon Him as having undergone that in our stead and for our sakes. It is meditation upon Christ, as in (Hebrews 12:2); (Hebrews 12:3).
