[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. In many aspects, manna from heaven served as a type of bread of life in that it offered sustenance to those who were in dire need. God provided manna for the Israelites in the Exodus so that they may continue their journey without succumbing to the effects of starvation, being that their entire food supply had been exhausted long before reaching their destination. Indeed, finding the manna one particular morning as the dew left its impression upon the land enabled the Israelites to continue forward on their journey reveling in their unexpected good fortune. Without the manna from heaven, it can be argued that they might not have survived their journey. The writer discusses how manna from heaven can be considered as the bread of life.
