In this sermon, we looked at how the rock that was struck in Exodus 17:1–7 points forward to Jesus, the true Rock who was struck for us (on the cross) to give living water to our thirsty souls. Just as God provided physical water from the rock to sustain Israel in the wilderness, 1 Corinthians 10 reminds us that the Rock was Christ—He is our ultimate source of life and provision. In John 4, Jesus offers living water that satisfies forever, not just for a moment. The invitation for us is practical and urgent: to stop looking to temporary sources to quench our spiritual thirst and to come to Jesus daily for what our hearts most deeply need. When life feels dry, when relationships fail, when success leaves us empty, Jesus is still the Rock who pours out grace, peace, and strength for today and hope for tomorrow.
