Manna

In Hebrews 9:4 we read of the contents of the Ark. "This ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron's staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant." The first item mentioned is the jar of manna. The manna of the wilderness is a picture of Christ, the "Bread of Life." No wonder God wanted it saved in the Ark of the covenant as a reminder that Christ is our life giver.
