24. And had rained down manna upon them to eat. There was so much of it, the skies poured with food. Mysterious though
it was, it was eminently adapted for human nourishment, and it was available:
they had only to gather it up. O Lord Jesus, thou blessed manna of heaven, how
all this agrees with thee! We will now feed on thee as our spiritual meat, and
will pray thee to chase away all wicked unbelief from us. Our fathers ate manna
and doubted; we feed upon thee and are filled with assurance. And had given them of the corn of heaven. It was all a gift without money and without
price. Food which dropped from above, and was of the best quality, so as to be
called heavenly corn, was freely granted them. The point to be noted is that
this wonder of wonders left the beholders, and feasters, as prone as ever to
mistrust their Lord.
