"And all drink the same spiritual drink; for they drank of the spiritual
Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ." 1 Cor. 10: 4.
“Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the
blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which He hath consecrated for
us, through the veil, that is to say, His flesh; and having a high
priest over the house of God; let us draw near with a true heart, in
full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil
conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water." Hebrews 10: 19-22.
There is no emblem of the Holy Spirit more frequently used in the
Scriptures than water. Naturally suggestive of cleansing, refreshing,
and fullness, it expresses most perfectly the most important offices of
the Holy Ghost. It is not possible for us to refer to all the passages
and incidents which are based upon this figure; but we shall call
attention to four remarkable passages which unfold in logical and
chronological order the work of the Holy Spirit in our redemption and
complete salvation.

1. The first of these passages, quoted above, refers to the first three
of these unfoldings of the Holy Spirit. They are all connected with
incidents in the journey of the Israelites through the wilderness. The
first is the smiting of the rock in Horeb, of which we read in the
seventeenth chapter of Exodus. They had come to the fountain at Meribah,
but found it dry; and, as usual, instead of trusting and praying, they
began to murmur and complain. Then God commanded Moses to lead them to
the rock in Horeb, and to smite it with the rod wherewith he had divided
the Red Sea and performed the miracles of judgment in Egypt. The cleft
rock gave forth a flood of water, and the people drank abundantly, and
their cattle.

The smiting of the rock in Horeb was, of course, a type of the Lord
Jesus Christ and the stroke of the Father\
