Library Theodoret Questions on Exodus
Questions on Exodus 28: Why was the rock named Christ?
Why was the rock named Christ?
Because it became a type of the Master Christ. In the same way the sea was also called baptism, although no one was baptized in it; for Israel passed through it rather dust-dry than soaked.
