What does the Bible say about Jesus as the smitten rock?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the rock struck by Moses represents Christ, from whom the living water flows.

In Exodus 17:1-7, we see the narrative of Moses striking the rock, which symbolizes Jesus Christ. Paul clarifies this in 1 Corinthians 10:4, stating that the rock was Christ. This signifies that just as the Israelites received physical sustenance from the rock, believers receive spiritual sustenance through Christ, the source of living water. The striking of the rock foreshadows Christ's crucifixion, where from His side flowed both blood for redemption and water for life.
