Moses Smote the Rock
Exodus 17: 6
Moses represents the law of God. God sent forth his Son made of a woman because the children were flesh and blood. God sent forth his Son made of a woman, made under the law. The law said of Christ Jesus: he is holy, spotless, no sin in him, he is fit to make himself a sacrifice as the substitute to suffer the wrath of God in the place of those God gave him. God sent forth his Son made of a woman, made under the law to redeem them that were under the law (Romans 8: 3:, 4; Rom 3: 21, 22; 2 Cor 5: 21.) When God made him sin, who knew no sin, God's just character demanded that Christ the Rock be smitten with the rod of justice (Psalm 22: 1; Rom 3: 26.) "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost." God is satisfied and as promised, Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father. (John 19:30; Ro 6: 4.)
