That Rock Was Jesus
1 Corinthians 10:1-4
Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; [2] And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; [3] And did all eat the same spiritual meat; [4] And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
In Matt 16.18 Jesus told Peter upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Something that is built on a rock will have a good foundation. The Lord’s church will be around when the Lord Jesus returns to take us home. In Psalm 18.2 it says The Lord is my rock, so the rock is a personal rock. Everyone needs a personal relationship with this rock. You can not depend on someone else's relationship to Jesus. You must have a relationship with him yourself. In Exodus 17.6 Jesus is pictured as a smitten rock. God commanded Moses to smite the rock and water would come out and all of Israel could get a drink of water. The water was supplied by God and there was enough for everyone in Isaiah 55.1 God gives everyone an invitation to come and drink of the water of life at no cost.
