The Jar of Manna Represents Christ in the Eucharist


Oh God, you gave instructions to the Israelites 
To make a golden jar and put in it an omer of manna.
They put the jar in the Arc of the Covenant,
But  how does the jar of manna represent the eucharist?

Just as manna was the food from heaven, 
So the eucharist is food from heaven.
Jesus also told us in John chapter 6,
Your ancestors ate manna in the desert and died,
But whoever eats the bread I will give them,
Will have everlasting life.
The bread I will give them,
Is my flesh, given for the life of the world.

Amen
