“An Example Not to Follow” (part 1) – 1 Corinthians 10:1-13
1A. God gave Israel His presence, protection and provision as they journeyed from Egypt to the Promised Land (vv. 1-4).
1b. God’s presence: “All our fathers were under the cloud.”
2b. God’s protection: “All passed through the sea.”
1c. As the Israelites drew near the Red Sea, the Egyptians were nipping at their heels.
2c. The pillar of cloud went from before the children of Israel to behind them (Exo. 14:20-21).
3c. When Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, the LORD caused the waters of the sea to divide giving the Israelites a dry path to pass through the sea.
3b. God’s provision: a leader, food and water
1c. God’s provision of a leader: “All were baptized into Moses.”
2c. God’s provision of food: “All ate the same spiritual food.”
3c. God’s provision of water: “All drank the same spiritual drink.”
1d. Thy drank from the spiritual Rock, Christ, Who followed and made provision for them.
2d. The pre-incarnate Christ was present with the Israelites making their way from Egypt to Canaan.
3d. The Rock was a type of Christ Who provides spiritual water which leads to eternal life for those who drink (John 4:13-14, 6:35).
4d. Also, the manna is a type of Christ Who is the bread from heaven (John 6:51).
2A. Despite God’s presence, protection and provision, Israel’s Exodus generation failed to enter the Promised Land (vs. 5).
Questions…
1. What is the significance that Paul referred to the children of Israel as “our fathers” given he wrote to a church primarily made up of Gentiles?
2. What is the significance of Paul’s use of “all” five times?
3. What does it mean that the Israelites were baptized into Moses?
4. What was the spiritual food they ate? What was the spiritual drink they drank? Why did Paul use the term, “spiritual” to describe the food and drink?
5. What does the fact that Christ was the spiritual Rock who followed them tell us about Him?
6. What point did Paul make with verse 5 which he began with “But”?
7. How does the experience of Israel as they journeyed from Egypt to Canaan encourage and warn us in our race?
