• The manna was a type of Christ the true Bread, the Bread of God come down from heaven, ―the Lord Jesus in His humiliation, in His lowly grace. We looked at it in Exodus 16. Here “the manna was as coriander seed;” there “as the hoar frost:” a “small round thing.” We are reminded by that whatever low place the Lord took here below, He was nevertheless the Eternal One. A cube in Scripture is finite perfection; but a round thing has no beginning and no end, pointing to the Eternal One, though here in lowly guise. (book #20877)
