Christ. "For I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea; and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and all ate the same spiritual food; and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ." --1 Corinthians 10:1-4 I see both Protestant sacraments alluded to in these verses. --Joe! |

"How does spiritual rock which followed them also be in paticular locations?" I don't think Paul means that Jesus was physically the rock from which the water flowed. However, Paul makes an association between the physical and the spiritual. The cloud, the sea, the food (manna), and the rock were all physical realities in the desert which pointed to Jesus Christ. Paul is saying that Jesus was spiritually with His covenant people in the wilderness, and the physical provision of God pointed to the spiritual realities. Nonetheless, the context makes it clear that Paul is connecting Christ to specific physical objects in the life of the Israelites in the wilderness years. Jesus Himself associates His life-giving existence to the manna from heaven in John 6:30-33. And in communion, there is a spiritual union between the signs and the things that they signify. --Joe! |
