Among the symbolic presentations of Christ in the book of Exodus is the story of the water from the rock in Exodus 17:6. Just as Moses struck the rock to provide life-giving water for the people to drink, so did God strike the Rock of our salvation, crucifying Him for our sin, and from the Rock came the gift of living water (John 4:10). The provision of manna in the wilderness is a perfect picture of Christ, the Bread of Life (John 6:48), provided by God to give us life.
Hii ni ishara ya Yesu, Mwanakondoo wa Mungu bila doa au kilema (1 Petro 1:19), ambaye damu yake ilipakwa kwetu na kutuhakikishia uzima wa milele . Miongoni mwa ishara ya Kristo katika kitabu cha Kutoka ni hadithi ya maji kutoka kwenye mwamba katika Kutoka 17: 6. Kama Musa alivyoupiga mwamba na kutoa maji ya kupeana uhai watu wakakunywa, ndivyo Mungu alipiga Mwamba wa wokovu wetu, kumsulubisha Yeye kwa ajili ya dhambi zetu, na kutoka kwa mwamba ikakucha zawadi ya maji ya uhai (Yohana 4:10) . Utoaji wa mana kule jangwani ni ishara kamilifu ya Kristo, mkate wa uzima (Yohana 6:48), uliotolewa na Mungu ili kutupa uzima.
