Christ, Our Supply

We must build and develop our spirit to run this life-race. I Cor. 10:3, 4 reads: All of them ate the same spiritual food, and all of them drank the same spiritual water; for they drank from the spiritual rock that traveled with them, and that rock was Christ. We know that the food they ate was manna and they drank of a spiritual rock. Today our manna is Christ and He gives life to us. The spiritual rock again is Jesus. Likewise, for the New Testament believers, the Rock (Christ) was struck to yield that water. The “drink” supplied is the Spirit, and the act of drinking, is our response. It is our believing into Christ, the act of faith. As we eat, we are exercising our belief in Christ, and the stronger He becomes in us; enabling us to be fit or built up to run this race. We are made to identify with His suffering and his bountiful supply.
