Listen "When the Messiah Comes the Manna Will Return! (Jul 28, 2024+)"
Episode Synopsis
Over the next several weeks the Church breaks from Mark’s Gospel, pivoting instead to John 6. Encountering the people’s hunger, Our Lord feeds them with the miraculous multiplication of loaves and fish. The Scriptures then recount a fascinating response to the miracle: the people want to make Jesus king. Delving into the history of the Old Testament manna as well as the Jewish tradition surrounding it, we explore an explanation for the people’s desire to place Our Lord upon the throne, one in which the multiplied bread is seen as none other than new manna!
