What does the Bible say about manna as a type of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Manna in the Bible serves as a picture of Jesus, the true bread from heaven that provides spiritual life.

In Exodus 16, manna is described as bread that came down from heaven, representing the goodness of God and foreshadowing the Lord Jesus Christ, who referred to himself as the true bread from heaven in John 6:32-33. Just as manna sustained the Israelites physically in the wilderness, Christ sustains believers spiritually, providing eternal life. The giving of manna showcases God's mercy, illustrating that He provides for His people even when they are rebellious and ungrateful.
