**second month**
i.e. May.

**manna**
*(See Scofield "**")* .

**according**
Cf. [John 6:33](../../../kjv/john/6/33); [John 6:41](../../../kjv/john/6/41); [John 6:42](../../../kjv/john/6/42); [John 6:52](../../../kjv/john/6/52). Christ gives himself unreservedly, but we have no more of Him than faith appropriates, ; [Exodus 16:18](../../../kjv/exodus/16/18); [Exodus 16:2](../../../kjv/exodus/16/2); [Joshua 1:1](../../../kjv/joshua/1/1).[Exodus 16:2](../../../kjv/exodus/16/2) is our title. [Exodus 16:3](../../../kjv/exodus/16/3) is the law of possession:

**left**
As we are not nourished by the memory of food, so neither can spirituality be sustained on past appropriations of Christ.

**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](../../../kjv/john/6/35); [John 6:48-51](../../../kjv/john/6/48-51). A "small" thing [Exodus 16:14](../../../kjv/exodus/16/14) having but the taste of "fresh oil." [Numbers 11:8](../../../kjv/numbers/11/8) or "wafers with honey" [Exodus 16:31](../../../kjv/exodus/16/31); [Exodus 16:31](../../../kjv/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](../../../kjv/isaiah/53/2). But as such He must be received by faith if we would be saved [John 6:53-58](../../../kjv/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](../../../kjv/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](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/3/1); [1 Corinthians 3:2](../../../kjv/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](../../../kjv/joshua/5/11) the "meat" of [Hebrews 5:13](../../../kjv/hebrews/5/13); [Hebrews 5:14](../../../kjv/hebrews/5/14) or Christ as presented in the Epistles of Paul. (Cf) [2 Corinthians 5:16](../../../kjv/2-corinthians/5/16).
