Thoughts on Rocks

1 Peter 2:4‑5 (MKJV) tells us that; "Having been drawn to Him, a living Stone, indeed rejected by men, but elect, precious with God; you also as living stones are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." Peter calls Christ a living Stone, a title that teaches His followers that He is their protection and security. Whilst Paul, at the end of the second chapter of his letter to the Ephesians says that Jesus is the foundation on which they are built. He is the chief Corner stone, which unites the whole number of believers into one perpetual temple, and bears the weight of the whole fabric, a foundation that is everlasting and precious beyond comparison. And to be built on Jesus, means to believe in him completely and to commit our life to Him

JESUS is the SPIRITUAL ROCK.

Through Him came God's provision for His people in the wilderness. JESUS says...Even as I gave Israel water to drink from an impossible source, so will living waters stream from the hard places in your life, if you look to Me…

At the Names of Jesus

For I wish you not to be ignorant, Brethren. That our Fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the Sea; and that all were immersed into Moses in the cloud and in the Sea; and that all ate the same spiritual Food, and all drank the same spiritual Drink; for they drank (water) from a Spiritual Rock which followed them; (but the Rock was the Anointed.) 1 Cor.10:1‑4

Be Thou, O Rock of Ages, nigh!
So shall each murmuring thought be gone;
And grief and fear and care shall fly,
As clouds before the mid‑day sun
