1 For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and
sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed
through the sea. 2 They were all baptized into Moses in
the cloud and in the sea. 3 They all ate the same spiritual food 4 and drank the same spiritual drink;
for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was
Christ.
Israelites were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea as Moses led them to pass through the wilderness through the pillar of cloud and cross the Red Sea through the staff of his hand. Similarly, we are also baptized into Jesus through his cross and resurrection. Israelites drank water from the rock and ate manna from the heaven that they could sustain their lives for forty years in wilderness. We Christians drink living water and eat living bread from the eternal life of Jesus. Jesus is the source of our salvation, like Moses for Israelites, and also the source of sustaining their lives, like manna and water from the rock for Israelites. Christ is the source but now through the power of the Spirit, becomes our spiritual rock, spiritual water, and spiritual food that sustain and grow our spiritual lives. Without Christ, we have no other source of food and drink, but at the same time without the Holy Spirit's working in us, we will also certainly thirst and starve to death as Christ's eternal life cannot be converted to our spiritual food and drink.
I praise my Lord Jesus as He is always my source of spiritual life. Leaving Him is the only way to death. But I also praise the Holy Spirit as He feeds Jesus' life in my life everyday. Spirit is the One to enlighten my heart that Jesus' life becomes real to me that I am in Him and He is in me. Amen!
