Bread From Heaven

From manna in the wilderness to the bread of life.

God rains down bread from heaven to feed Israel in the desert, teaching that "man shall not live by bread alone." Centuries later Jesus says, "I am the bread of life," takes bread, breaks it, and says, "This is my body" — the true bread come down from heaven.
