Bread of Life

Pastor John,

Was the manna sent down by God from Heaven for the Israelites in the wilderness to eat, a shadow (representation) of “the Bread of Life (Jesus)” that God later sent down from Heaven for the Israelites to eat?

It seems that it must be but I can’t remember the lesson.

Hi Jerry,

Since Jesus brought up the comparison in John (6:48–58), and Paul said that whatever was written in the Old Testament scriptures was written for our learning, I would say yes, the manna in the wilderness was a shadow of Christ, who called himself “the living Bread that came from heaven.”
