Jesus is referred to as the Rock in 1 Corinthians 10:4, symbolizing His role in providing spiritual sustenance and salvation.
The Bible identifies Jesus as the Rock in 1 Corinthians 10:4, where it states, 'that Rock was Christ.' This metaphor signifies not only His steadfastness and reliability but also His provision of spiritual nourishment and grace to believers. Similar to how the rock in the wilderness provided water to the Israelites, Christ offers the living water essential for eternal life. This concept is further illustrated in Exodus 17, where God instructs Moses to strike the rock, from which life-giving water gushed forth, foreshadowing Christ's redemptive work on the Cross.
