How do we know that Jesus is the rock mentioned in the Bible?
Answered in 2 sources
Jesus is referred to as the rock in 1 Corinthians 10:4, where Paul specifies that the spiritual rock followed the Israelites was Christ.
The metaphor of Christ as the rock is grounded in various biblical texts. In 1 Corinthians 10:4, Paul explicitly states that the rock which the Israelites drank from in the desert was Christ. This ties directly into the concept of Jesus being the solid foundation upon which believers are built. Furthermore, in Psalm 118:22, it is foretold that the stone rejected by builders would become the cornerstone, identified in the New Testament as Jesus. Thus, Jesus stands as the ultimate rock, providing strength and refuge to His followers.
