IMPORTANT
TO KNOW!
The Bible uses many figures of speech. Jesus often used them. And we use them too! Someone might say, "I am so hungry, I could eat a bear." Or, "That man was driving so fast, his car was flying!" Of course, we don’t really mean that we would eat a bear, or that the man’s car was actually flying in the air.
But we use such figures of speech to show that we are very hungry, or that the man was driving so very fast. We use other figures of speech to show how important what we are saying is. So when Jesus uses a figure of speech, He does so to show us that what He is saying is very, very important.
If we don’t know about figures of speech, some verses in the Bible cannot be understood.
Bread From Heaven
The people were following Jesus because they wanted more food. They spoke of that time long ago, when Moses was leading God’s people out of Egyptian Bondage when they ate of manna, which was a sweet wafer or some type of bread. They were trying to get Jesus to feed them again. But Jesus wanted to do more for them than to give them food. Remember, the purpose of signs or miracles, was to give a message. They had already seen Him do a miracle. So Jesus taught them about Himself.

VERY, VERY important!
