(1Cor. 10:3-4) "…;And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ." This text is a direct reference to (Exodus 17) where Moses was commanded by God to strike the rock at Mt. Horeb so Israel would have water to drink in the wilderness. Little did Israel know that God was painting a picture of the Messiah (Jesus Christ) who would come to provide spiritual drink to His Church. 1) God's Rock was Jesus Christ. There are many people in this world that want you to believe that the Apostle Peter or some other man is the true rock of the church, but this is contrary to scripture. (1Cor. 3:11) " For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ." chief corner stone (Eph. 2:202) God's Rock provided spiritual drink. Once we taste of God's Spiritual drink we will "never thirst"( John 4:14 for He satisfies all who are saved. 3) God's Rock followed Israel. Just as God's Rock was always available to nourish Israel, Jesus is always available to the saved, nourishing and providing as we travel life's road.
