The Bread of Life Contrasted with Manna
John 6:30-33
They said therefore to him, What sign show you then, that we may see, and believe you? what do you work?…


1. The manna could not detain for one moment the fleeting spirit of man; but the bread of life, like the tree of life, imparted immortality.

2. That was from the air; this from the real heaven of heavens.

3. That nourished the decaying body; this the never dying soul.

4. That left the multitude, after a few hours, hungry still; he who eats of this will never hunger.

(W. H. Van Doren, D. D.)
