Moses, the Bronze Snake, and Jesus

Thanks for joining our Bible study. I wrote "our" to acknowledge and thank the many loyal and passionate readers who enhance this study with their thoughtful and scholarly comments about the Word of God. All Townhall readers learn from you, including me. Today's lesson was prompted by a call from my esteemed colleague Russ Breault. He is recognized as one of the world's leading experts about the Shroud of Turin and a Bible scholar. Russ suggested I write a follow-up to last week's study about manna from Heaven found in Exodus Chapter 16  that included gospel quotes from Jesus proclaiming Himself "manna" -- "the bread of life, who came down from Heaven."
