                                                          Então a pergunta final é: quanto é que amamos Jesus?

in groups to the Sinai deserts due to exhaustion after
their return flight from Europe over the Mediterranean
Sea to their autumn habitats. Manna is the secretion of
two species of scale insects on the tamarisk shrub dur-
ing the months of May and June. But it was God’s do-
ing that the fall of manna occurred daily (except Sab-
baths), for the 40 unbroken years of their wandering in
the desert. As the secretions drop from the shrub’s
leaves to the ground, they cool in the night air and be-
come firm. If gathered early before the parching desert
sun melts it, the manna provides a tasty, nourishing
meal. Bedouins in the northern Sinai call it mann and
still use it as a sweetener. The fact that the occasional
occurrence of the manna and quail can be explained
scientifically does not, in any way, lessen their theologi-
cal importance in demonstrating God’s love for His
people; indeed, the Israelites rightly ascribed these
nourishing, timely gifts from the desert to the loving
providence of their God.
