Rock

“For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them and the Rock was Christ.” (1 Cor. 10:4)

Names of God 

God has many names and titles in the Bible. Each one tells us something important about Him—His character and how He relates to us. And how we must relate to Him. Here is another one of His many Names, which is Rock.

Jesus is the Rock

Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone’” (Acts 4:11; See also 1 Peter 2:4–8).  

On the day of Pentecost, the disciples’ bold preaching demonstrated their certainty that Jesus truly was this same Rock.

Rock of salvation

“My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence.” (2 Sam. 22:3 ESV)

“For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?” (2 Sam. 22:32 ESV)

“The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be my God, the rock of my salvation,” (2 Sam. 22:47 ESV)

Therefore

Jesus is the Rock of our salvation, a sure and eternal refuge, the foundation on which rests the hope of heaven!

“The one who trusts in him will never be put to shame” (1 Peter 2:6).
