Manna Research Paper

Improved Essays
What a patient and loving God we serve. Even when we are weak in our faith and blaming others for situations which they are not responsible, God sees and hears everything. He knows when to send those handfuls of purpose to help in strengthening our faith. When the Children of Israel least deserved a handful of purpose, God sent them manna. He provided a heavenly treasure to keep them from starving while on their journey. Today we have Manna – Jesus, satisfying a longing in our soul that can only be satisfied through Him.

Think about Jesus, white and pure from sin, and sweet as honey. God sent manna to feed the Children of Israel while they journeyed to the Promise Land. God sent Jesus Christ, His son to feed the soul of man on his journey to the Promise Land. While our physical bodies need different things to survive, our soul depends on only one thing and that is Jesus Christ, He is the Manna for our soul.

(John 1:29) The manna was on the ground every morning; all they had to do was pick it up, it was a free will gathering. Salvation is here today for anyone to partake of it; they have the free will to choose Jesus.

Manna had to be gathered every morning; it gave nourishment for the day. We need a daily walk with Jesus because the strength we receive today will not be enough for tomorrow. Renewing our mind with Jesus is a daily walk, and it's essential to make it through the day.

A time limit was given on gathering manna each day. When the morning sun became hot, it melted. A time limit is set on the access to Jesus and salvation; one day it will be too late. (Hebrews 9:27)

Jesus, just as the manna, is an undeserved gift from God. God loved us enough to give His only Son to give us life eternal; all we have to do is reach out and take Him as our Saviour before it's too late. (John 6:35)

    While in England the settlers had heard the new land was filled with all sorts of resources. However while inhabiting the new land the settlers had trouble find food, until they found corn that was previously planted by the Indians. William Bradford notes this in the following text “...found in them divers fair Indian baskets filled with corn and some in ear, fair and good, of divers colours…” ( 11). These lines clarify the discovery of corn which kept the settlers alive until they could adapt and plant their own crops. Charles C. Mann also writes about the resources the settlers had access to in the following lines “...much plenty both of fish and fowl everyday in the year, runs of spawning Atlantic salmon, shortnose, sturgeon, striped bass, and American shad annually filled the harbor.…

    There are many scriptures throughout the bible that speak about blood. Christ's blood redeems us, brings us into fellowship and peace with God, cleanses us from sin and gives us power over the enemy. The blood of Jesus brings life to us, just as the blood in the physical body carries life. The Lord desires that we walk in divine health (3 Jn 4:6) Consequently for those individuals living with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), walking in divine health may require receiving routine blood transfusions. It is critical that compatible blood is found and used for these patients.…

    Crucifixion Of Jesus

    • 954 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The passage of my choice to interpret within the light of different gospels is about the crucifixion of Jesus on the death cross and how he was treated during that time, he was mocked and scolded and even high priests were making fun out of him but he remained determined on his preaching’s and after he breathed his last the sacred veil was torn. To clarify the background in different gospels the crux of the story is that the Jewish priests and elders of the Sanhedrin accused Jesus of blasphemy, arriving on the decision to put him to demise. But first they needed Rome to approve of their loss of life sentence, so Jesus as according to the history was to be taken to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor in Judea. Even though Pilate sited him innocent,…

    Jesus’ identity and purpose has been a great source of discussion and investigation through the years. Although many people do not seem to believe in the importance and legacy of His life, there are many profs and facts that show the meaning of His days physically living in our world. Jesus came to show us the correct way to live and direct our actions towards others. For example, in Matthew 5:43-48, Jesus speaks about loving one’s enemies. He mentions how important it is to love, bless and pray for those who curse, hate, use and persecute us (Matthew 5:44).…
