1. In what ways do the elements of the Table of Showbread — the twelve loaves set before the Lord, the continual presence of bread, and its restricted access — foreshadow Jesus as the true Bread of Life who offers Himself freely to all?
“Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.’” — John 6:35

2. Why was the Table limited to the priests under the Old Covenant, and how does that limitation highlight the holiness of God compared with the open invitation Christ now extends to every believer?
“Speak to Aaron and his sons so that they abstain from the holy things of the people of Israel, which they dedicate to me, so that they do not profane my holy name: I am the LORD.” — Leviticus 22:2

3. When the veil of the temple was torn at Christ’s death, how did this remove the barrier symbolized by the guarded Holy Place and open fellowship with God’s presence?
“And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split.” — Matthew 27:51

4. The Table of Showbread was a continual reminder of God’s covenant with His people. How does Communion now serve as a greater reminder of Christ’s covenant sealed in His blood?
“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” — 1 Peter 2:9

5. The priests ate of the bread in the presence of God once a week. How does your continual access to Christ, the living Bread, shape your daily walk, worship, and devotion?
“For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.” — 1 Corinthians 11:26
