TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Bread from Heaven

As the Israelites left Egypt behind and entered the wilderness, God sent manna, a breadlike substance, to sustain them (Exod 16). The Lord gave them food adequate for their daily needs (see Neh 9:20-21). This “bread from heaven” showed God’s people his love and illustrated his special provision for Israel in the wilderness (see Deut 8:3, 16; Pss 78:24; 105:40; cp. Rev 2:17).

Although manna was actual food, some passages use the term in a spiritual sense to symbolize a spiritual relationship with the Lord and as a sign of God’s miraculous provision for his people (see 1 Cor 10:3-4). At the same time, manna was associated with Israel’s complaining against God and with their lack of trust in his provision (Num 11:1-15; see 1 Cor 10:5).

Shortly after Jesus had miraculously fed the 5,000 near the Sea of Galilee, he taught in the synagogue at Capernaum about the “bread of life” (John 6:22-59). He identified himself as the “true bread of God” and “the bread of life” (John 6:32-35); he even linked eternal life with the need to “eat [his] flesh” and “drink his blood” (John 6:50-58). Just as the manna provided food in the wilderness, Jesus—the true bread from God—offers spiritual sustenance. Israel was humbled by their need for food in the wilderness (Deut 8:3). Now followers of Jesus must humble themselves and receive the fullness of his life by faith (John 6:35-40, 47-51, 63-64).
