How do we know Christ is the Rock?

Answered in 1 source

The New Testament explicitly identifies Christ as the rock, as referenced in 1 Corinthians 10:4.

In 1 Corinthians 10:4, Paul writes, 'For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.' This identification demonstrates that the Old Testament accounts serve as types and shadows of Christ's redemptive work. The smiting of the rock represents Christ's sacrificial death, through which life-giving waters of grace and mercy flow to all who believe. This consistent biblical theme underscores that Jesus not only fulfills the role of the spiritual sustainer but is also the foundation of our faith.
Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 10:4, Exodus 17:6
