Are You Passing the Test?

In Book of Exodus, God tells Moses regarding the manna in the wilderness: “I will test them in this to see whether or not they will follow My instructions.” That line stops me in my tracks. God wasn’t just feeding Israel. He was testing them. And He still does the same with us. 1. The Test Is Often Wrapped in Provision God provided manna daily. It was miraculous. Bread from heaven. But it…

manna: more than bread

SHORTLY AFTER THE LORD set them free from Pharaoh, the Israelites started to grumble against Moses in the desert, saying, “What shall we drink?” for the water was bitter. God told Moses to throw a log into the water, and instantly the water became sweet (see Exo. 15:22). People then complained of having nothing to eat, saying, “Would that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt,…

Bread of Life

19 And Moses said to them, “Let no one leave any of it over till the morning.” 20 But they did not listen to Moses. Some left part of it till the morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Moses was angry with them. 21 Morning by morning they gathered it, each as much as he could eat; but when the sun grew hot, it melted. 22 On the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers each. And…

The Sign of Bread

John 6:1-15 ‌The Setting Jesus chose a time and a place for the signs of John 6 that should call to mind the story and themes of the Exodus from Egypt.
