Scripture Stories

Moses and the Manna

You can read the story about manna in Exodus 16.

Children of Israel-Moses

Moses was a prophet. He led God’s people toward the promised land. They walked for many days.

Manna

The people were hungry. They had no food. So God sent them food from heaven. It was called manna.

Manna

Each morning, the people gathered manna to eat. But it wouldn’t stay fresh overnight. They had to gather more the next day.

Jesus with children

The manna reminds us of Jesus Christ. God sent manna to save the people. He also sent Jesus to earth to save us. We need Jesus every day, just like we need food every day.

Childhood

I will follow Jesus. He will give me strength and help me feel His love each day.
