Exodus 16:16
according Cf. John 6:33; John 6:41; John 6:42; John 6:52. Christ gives himself unreservedly, but we have no more of Him than faith appropriates,; Exodus 16:18; Exodus 16:2; Joshua 1:1. Exodus 16:2 is our title. Exodus 16:3 is the law of possession:
Exodus 16:20
left As we are not nourished by the memory of food, so neither can spirituality be sustained on past appropriations of Christ.
Exodus 16:35
manna Manna, type of Christ as the “bread of life,” come down from heaven to die “for the life of the world.” John 6:35; John 6:48-51. A “small” thing Exodus 16:14 having but the taste of “fresh oil.” Numbers 11:8 or “wafers with honey” Exodus 16:31, it typifies Christ in humiliation as presented in Matthew, Mark, and Luke; “having no form nor comeliness;. .. no beauty that we should desire him” Isaiah 53:2. But as such He must be received by faith if we would be saved John 6:53-58. To meditate upon Christ as He went about among men, doing not His own will but the will of the Father John 6:38-40 is to feed on the manna. This is, of necessity, the spiritual food of young believers, and answers to “milk” 1 Corinthians 3:1; 1 Corinthians 3:2. But Christ in glory, and the believer’s present and eternal association with Him there, answers to “the old corn of the land” Joshua 5:11 the “meat” of Hebrews 5:13; Hebrews 5:14 or Christ as presented in the Epistles of Paul. (Cf) 2 Corinthians 5:16.
