2.
Jesus prayed; was “absent from the body and present with the Lord.” His followers silent, humble, patient, self-sacrificing, and strong, anticipating the approaching hour of their Master’s betrayal, sat eating the manna, that before had fed the persecuted followers of Truth in the wilderness. Their bread came down from heaven; it was the great Truth of spiritualized being, that often had healed the sick, and cast out error; their Master had broken, explained it to them before, and now it was feeding, sustaining them; they also had borne it from house to house, “breaking,” explaining it to others; and now it comforted them.
