Numbers 11:19
“When the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it”— Numbers 11:99And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it. (Numbers 11:9).
THE dew is a type of the refreshing influence of the Holy Spirit of God, “He shall be as the dew unto Israel.” The manna speaks of Christ Himself, the Living Bread who came down from heaven to give His life a ransom for many. He came in the power of the Holy Spirit, taking the lowest place on earth. The manna lay upon the ground—so that every Israelite when he stepped out of his tent in the morning had to do one of two things: he must trample it beneath his feet or gather it up for his food. So Christ today is either spurned or received in faith as Saviour.
“Nothing but Christ as on we tread.
The Gift unpriced, God’s living Bread!
With staff in hand, and feet well shod,
Nothing but Christ—the Christ of God.”
—S. O’M. Cluff.
