How do we know Jesus is the true bread from heaven?

The claim of Jesus as the true bread from heaven is rooted in John 6, where He explicitly states, 'I am the bread of life' (John 6:35). This declaration ties back to the manna given to the Israelites, which physically sustained them but ultimately could not grant eternal life. Unlike the manna that spoiled, Christ offers eternal nourishment to all who come to Him in faith. Additionally, Jesus mentions that this bread comes down from heaven so that one may eat of it and not die (John 6:50). By drawing this connection, we see that the provision of manna foreshadowed His coming and His work to redeem humanity, as He not only provides for our physical needs but also for our spiritual hunger.
