Exodus 25:10 And they shall make an ark of acacia wood: two and a half cubits shall be its length; and one and a half cubits, its width; and one and a half cubits, its height.

The acacia wood is a type of Christ’s humanity. Christ was a genuine human being. He was born of a human mother, He partook of human blood and flesh, He had a human name—Jesus—and He lived on earth as a man. His humanity was the basic substance for Him to be God’s testimony. Also the measurements of the ark of the testimony are halves. This signifies that the ark is a testimony. A half implies that another half is needed for a full testimony. Like in the married life we sometimes speak of a wife being her husband’s other half. Thus, the husband and wife together make a complete unit. This is the reality of Christ and the church, the full testimony of God here on earth. Oh Lord Jesus!
