corn
The manna is a type of Christ in humiliation, known "after the flesh," giving his flesh that the believer might have life (John 6:49-51) while the "old corn of the land" is Christ apprehended as risen, glorified, and seated in the heavenlies. Occupation with Christ on earth, "crucified through weakness," tends to a wilderness experience. An experience befitting the believer's place in the heavenlies demands an apprehension of the power of His resurrection; (2 Corinthians 5:16); (2 Corinthians 13:4); (Philippians 3:10); (Ephesians 1:15-23). It is the contrast between "milk" and "meat" in Paul's writings. (1 Corinthians 3:1); (1 Corinthians 3:2); (Hebrews 5:12-14); (Hebrews 6:1-3).
