John 6:30 They said therefore unto him, What sign do You show then, that we may see, and believe You? what do You work? 31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
The main reason why the Hebrews often took up stones to slay Moses on many occasions, is because they were dead focused on the mortal man, whilst the Rock, who was responsible for their well-being was often left out of the picture.
Similarly in our day, the icons of Mary and Peter and the other saints, are made the focus of attention to many minds, and as a result, persons would pray to various dead saints asking for forgiveness, while the living Rock is barely seen or heard. In fact, the dead saints are often given more weight, and importance than Christ, who is the only Rock.
The problem with this form of interpretation, is that it venerates imperfection, which is an integral part of fallen humanity, and as a result, the floodgates are opened wide for a plethora of imperfections to be incorporated into one’s faith and practice, just as it was with the Jews, who had looked to Moses for everything, as if he were The Rock.
John 6:32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
