The Passover clearly illustrates salvation through the blood of the Lamb, but there is more to the [[Christian]] life than being saved. [[God]] was leading His people by His own special methods--a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. This is proof that [[God]] always makes His way clear to those who are willing to follow Him.

+

[[Israel]]'s experiences in their journey from [[Egypt]] to Canaan are pictures of the battles and blessings of the [[Christian]] life. [[God]] wanted [[Israel]] in Canaan, and Canaan is a picture of the victorious [[Christian]] life, the life of claiming our inheritance in Christ. Too many [[Christians]], like the [[Jews]] of old, are delivered from [[Egypt]], but they get lost in the wilderness of unbelief and never reach the promised victorious life.

+

Chapters 14 and 15 record times of unbelief in the lives of the children of [[Israel]]. They were praising the [[Lord]] when things were going well, but began to murmur and complain when even the smallest troubles came.

+

Most [[Christians]] today operate in the same fashion as the [[Jews]] of old. Practically all our problems come because we get our eyes off the [[Lord]] and on men. The joy and [[victory]] of our [[Christian]] life ceases when we begin walking in the flesh rather than in the [[Spirit]]. It is then that the temptations of [[Satan]] look more attractive.

+

Finally, in today's reading, the manna from [[heaven]] is a type of [[Jesus]] Christ, the Bread of Life. It also illustrates the written [[Word]] of [[God]] on which [[God]]'s pilgrim people feed from day to day.
