How do we know Jesus is the rock mentioned in the Psalms?
Answered in 1 source
1 Corinthians 10:4 identifies Christ as the spiritual rock, confirming His role as the foundation of faith throughout Scripture.
In the New Testament, Paul clarifies the identity of the spiritual rock that followed the Israelites in the wilderness, stating in 1 Corinthians 10:4 that this rock was Christ. This connection between Old Testament imagery and New Testament revelation highlights Jesus as the ultimate foundation of believer's faith. The Psalms' references to a rock reflect not only divine strength and protection but also prophetic foreshadowing of Christ's messianic role. Consequently, when David refers to the rock that is higher than himself, he is ultimately pointing to Christ as the source of hope and salvation.
