WHY TEACH ABOUT THE ARK OF THE COVENANT?
The Ark of the Covenant was a holy object in the Old Testament, built by the Israelites at God's command. It represented His presence with His people and held powerful reminders of His covenant and provision. Inside were the Ten Commandments (God’s law), a jar of manna (God’s provision), and Aaron’s staff (God’s chosen leadership). Today, these symbols help us understand how Jesus fulfills God’s promises—He is our perfect leader, provider, and Savior.
PLEASE NOTE:
