How do we know Christ is our spiritual rock?

In 1 Corinthians 10:4, the Apostle Paul states, 'for they drank from the spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ.' This affirmation connects the Old Testament narrative where Moses struck the rock in Horeb to the New Testament revelation of Christ as the source of living water. Just as the rock provided sustenance for the Israelites, Christ is the spiritual nourishment for believers, offering eternal life and satisfaction to thirsty souls. This typological connection emphasizes the centrality of Christ in salvation and His role as the provision from God for spiritual life.
