Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 105:41

We have,

1. A type of the person of Christ, in the rock.

(a) Unsightly as Horeb —"When we shall see him, there is no beauty, "etc. (Isa 43:2).

(b) Firm and immovable "Who is a rock, save our God?" (2Sa 22:32).

2. A type of the sufferings of Christ, in the smitten rock.

(a) Smitten by the rod of the Law.

(b) Smitten to the heart.

3. A type of the benefits of Christ, in the water flowing from the rock —pure, refreshing, perpetual, abundant. James Bennett, 1828.

Verse 41.

1. The miraculous energy of God's grace in the conversion of a sinner: "He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out."

2. The effect in relation to others, which demonstrates at once the excellence and the reality of the miracle in ourselves: "They ran in the dry places like a river." —Thomas Dale, 1836.

Verse 41.

1. The grand source —the rock opened.

2. The liberal stream —"gushed out".

3. The continued flow —"in dry places".

Verse 42.

1. The grand source —the rock opened.

2. The liberal stream —"gushed out".

3. The continued law —"in dry places".
