The Work or the Person

I know this is a theme I have written on before but it keeps coming back to me. As I was reading again about the furniture in the Tabernacle I was reminded that the brazen altar, the laver, the lampstand, the table of showbread and the altar of incense all speak about some aspect of Christ's work but the Ark speaks of His person. Now I know that you cannot really separate the Person of Christ from what He does but we must remember that what He does is because of who He is.
