God shows His power, salvation, deliverance, and strength as
our Rock.
Jesus is our Rock. (2Corinthians 5:19, Colossians 2:9, John
14:9-10, Psalm 18:31, 1 Samuel 2:2, Psalm 92:15, Psalm 95:1, Psalm 62:6-7, Psalm
78:16.)
"Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be
ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through
the sea; and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and did
all eat the same spiritual meat; and did all drink the same spiritual drink:
for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was
Christ." - 1 Corinthians 10:1-4 KJV
In the wilderness, the Rock gave the thirsty children of
Israel water to drink.
"And they thirsted not when he led them through the
deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the
rock also, and the waters gushed out." - Isaiah 48:21 KJV
Just as the Rock in the wilderness gave water to the thirsty
children of Israel, Jesus, the Rock in this world gives water to thirsty souls.
"Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the
gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest
have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water." - John 4:10
KJV
"Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh
of this water shall thirst again: but whosoever drinketh of the water that I
shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be
in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." - John 4:13-14
KJV
The water that Jesus gives the thirsty soul is His Spirit.
"In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus
stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He
that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow
rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that
believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because
that Jesus was not yet glorified.)" - John 7:37-39 KJV
