Hebrews 9:1-4
Most people have at least one particular item that is special to them. Something that anyone else would see as junk, but for you, it has real meaning.
I know I have a few of those things. Things that nobody would assign any real value to, but for me are priceless treasures.
A lot of things found in antiquity are like that. Things that are of any interest only to scholars of history or archeology. One such thing would be the Ark of the Covenant. It has been the subject of superstions and fantasy for many thousands of years. It's contents are some old tablets, an old stick and some old bread.
For those of us who believe, these items have profound significance. They point directly to our Messiah
The The Ark itself was for the Spirit of God to dwell, and according to Hebrews chapter 9, it was to house the tablets of the covenant (or law), Aaron's rod that budded and the manna from Heaven. Our Savior is all of these things. He is the fulfillment of the whole law. He is our High Priest, haveing sacrificed Himself for our sins. He is the Bread of Life. And it is only in Him that we find hope.
God is AWESOME!
