Chapter 3 - Not by Bread Alone
The change of scenery was dramatic—from lush greeneryto sand and rocks. Food and water were not to be found. The great escape now seemed like a suicide march. Even though the Hebrews grumbled, God freely gave them all the provisions needed for the journey to the Promised Land. These provisions were types of the sacraments that Jesus would later institute. God spoke to the people at Mount Sinai and formed them into a nation with a covenant and a law. But they continually rebelled against God and grumbled and he condemned the unbelieving generation to wander in the wilderness for forty years before the new generation could enter the Promised Land.
Next week (10/17), Chapter 4: "Listen to Him"
