It is where we meet with the enemy’s power that Jesus is our
food as manna.[ii]
This hidden manna is the remembrance of a suffering Christ
down here – the memory of what Christ has been in the wilderness, as a man, an
humbled, suffering man, and who is God’s eternal delight in heaven; and in our
eternal state, he that has overcome, he that has been faithful in separation
with Christ from the world, will have the everlasting enjoyment of fellowship
with God in His delight in a once humbled Christ – the same kind of delight,
although in a different measure.[iii]
