The people of the Hebrews, and crowds that follow after Jesus, are hungry for something to satisfy them physically. But Moses, and Jesus, point them toward a greater reality: food from Heaven that satisfies them deep down inside.
This Heavenly food is about growing in relationship with Jesus Christ, living as anew in holiness and righteouness, as St. Paul speaks of in Ephesians. We live for what really counts, because we are fed with food from Heaven, the very Presence of God, and that is enough to satisfy us, and to draw us closer to God, even as we bring what satisfies to others as part of living out that relationship.
