How do we know that Christ is the one who makes bitter waters sweet?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is the tree cast into the bitter waters, symbolizing His sacrifice that transforms our sin into righteousness.

In the sermon, it is explained that the tree Moses cast into the bitter waters represents Christ, who takes on the sins of His people and transforms their bitter realities into the sweetness of grace. By bearing the weight of sin through His death and resurrection, He fulfills the role of a surety for His elect. Just as the Israelites experienced physical deliverance, believers find spiritual deliverance in Christ, who was made sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God. This profound exchange showcases how Christ’s work on the cross replaces our spiritual bitterness with divine sweetness.
