Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 6:50

"This is the bread which cometh down out of heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die." — John 6:50 (ASV)

Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

For that manna of theirs was corruptible. We read that it bred worms and stank, and though it was angels' food for a time, yet it was only temporary. It only fed a temporary life, and, like that life, it passed away. But Jesus Christ is incorruptible, and those who live on him live on incorruptible food, which nourishes the incorruptible seed which lives and abides forever.
