Why is Jesus referred to as the rock in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is called the rock because He is a solid foundation of safety and salvation for those who trust in Him.

In Psalm 61:2, David asks God to lead him to the 'rock that is higher than I,' symbolizing reliance on Christ as the ultimate source of safety and refuge. Christ embodies strength and stability, being the solid rock upon which believers can build their faith. He is likened to a fortress that provides safety from life’s adversities and spiritual enemies. Moreover, believers find comfort in the promise that when they hide in Christ, they are secure from spiritual threats, including sin and the accuser, thereby encapsulating Him as the 'rock' in their lives.
