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

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

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.
