John 6:33-35 (ESV)
33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.”
35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
Jesus is the bread of life. The Israelites would seek the bread from heaven daily, finding it each morning where it had fallen to the ground. It would sustain them during their time in the wilderness. Water would even flow from a rock.
“Give us this day our daily bread”, we pray when we gather to worship on our wilderness journey. The living waters of the Spirit flows to each one who believes. Their journey foreshadowed ours. The Israelites finally reached their promised land, and so shall we.
