What does the Bible say about the manna from heaven?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible describes manna as the bread from God that sustains His people, symbolizing Christ who gives life to the world.

In Exodus 16, manna is depicted as the divine provision given to the Israelites to sustain them in the wilderness. God instructed them to gather this bread daily, emphasizing that it is essential for their nourishment. Just as the physical manna was necessary for the Israelites, Christ is presented in the New Testament as the true manna, the bread from heaven that gives life to all who believe. In John 6:35, Jesus declares, 'I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst,' directly linking the provision of manna to His role as the source of eternal life. Therefore, the manna serves as a type of Christ, illustrating God's ongoing sustenance for His people.
