How do we know Jesus is the Rock in Exodus 17?

Answered in 1 source

1 Corinthians 10:4 explicitly identifies Christ as the spiritual Rock that followed the Israelites.

According to 1 Corinthians 10:4, the Apostle Paul clarifies that the Rock which provided water to the Israelites in the wilderness is Christ. This New Testament revelation helps us understand the Old Testament narrative as a foreshadowing of Christ’s redemptive work. Just as the Israelites were dependent on the Rock for physical sustenance, believers today find their true nourishment in Jesus, who was smitten for our sins. This typology emphasizes that the foundation of our faith and salvation rests solely on Christ, making Him the eternal source of spiritual life.
