“John 6:58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.” This does not mean that those that ate manna (or bread) from Heaven died because of it. Instead many died in the wilderness because of the idolatry of Israel. They should not have worshiped the golden calves. “Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them” (John 6:56). Those who partake of Christ are united to Him and that endures. “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. Revelation 2:17”. In this verse Jesus is giving an invitation and making a promise. He invites anyone with ears to hear the Spirit’s messages to the churches. “He who has ears to hear, let Him hear” (Matthew 11:15). This means to learn about God, obey and accept Him. Jesus will reward those that store up treasure in Heaven and seek to avoid the sins of the world. Amen.
