That Rock Was Christ

 “Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, And hast forgotten God that formed thee.”

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭32:18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

God told Moses to sing this song in the final time of his life.  The children of Israel ignored the Rock that bore them and forgot the God Who gave birth to them.  In the new covenant of grace, God found us and quickened us, who were dead in trespasses and sins.  We were in a death trap of an inferior lifestyle, constantly living below the blueprint measure of our lives, out of tune with God’s original design.  Yet this didn’t distract God from His extravagant love for us - He continued to love us with the exact same intensity.  This is how grace rescued us: while we were yet in that state of deadness and indifference, He quickened us together with Christ!  We had nothing to do with it.  Grace freed us, once and for all from the lies that we believed about ourselves under the performance driven system, and gave us a new identity in Christ.  The same Rock that was there in the wilderness with the children of Israel is the Rock that begot us through the Cross and that Rock was Christ!  Thank You, Jesus our Lord and our God!
