Message
Sparrows are generally small, plumb brown-grey birds with short tails and stubby, powerful beaks. There are different species of sparrows just like other birds. They feed on seeds, small green birds, tiny insects and worms. Some species of sparrows sing melodious songs. They can be referred to as singing sparrows. Sparrows are small, yet special birds. They are sometimes overlooked because they are so tiny. Jesus uses sparrows as an example of how much God values and love all His creatures. While some people overlook the sparrow, God always sees them and cares for them. Sparrows show us that no creature is beyond the reach of God’s love.
It shows that God values everyone and everything He has made. Since God takes good care of even seemingly insignificant creatures like sparrows, we can trust that God will take good care of us too.Jesus also uses the common insignificant sparrow sold for next to nothing in the market to illustrate God’s meticulous care for His Children. Despite their small monetary value, not a single sparrow falls to the ground without God’s knowledge. The message is clear, if God cares for sparrows, how much more does He value human beings that He made in His own image?
Jesus reassures His friends of their worth in the eyes of God. This divine care extends to every aspect of their lives even the smallest detail of numbering the hairs on their heads. Are you a friend of Jesus? Then you have nothing to fear, God loves you more than sparrows.
Prayer for today: Lord, thank You for loving and caring for me
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
