Verses 14-18 and 31 “14And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
15And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
16This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.
17And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
18And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating…
31And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.”

The Manna is a type of the Lord Jesus Christ (See John 6:31-58). Jesus is “the True Bread from heaven” (John 6:32). How is Manna similar to the Lord Jesus? 1. It came down from heaven. 2. It was pure (white), just as Jesus is sinless. 3. Fathers were to bring it to the whole family. 4. It was enough, all they needed. 5. It had to be received before one could be helped by it. 6. It was sweet to the taste, like honey out the comb. 7. It had to be received TODAY. In all of these ways the miracle bread from heaven is like the the Living Bread, He whose whole life is a miracle.
