Matthew 10:29-31

Matthew 10:29-31

[29] not  two  sparrows  sold  for a farthing?  and  one  of  them  not  fall  on  the ground  without  Father.  [30] But  the very  hairs  head  all  numbered.  [31] Fear ye  not  therefore,  are of more value  than many  sparrows. 

What does Matthew 10:29-31 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Third, the same God who will not permit a sparrow to fall to the ground will certainly take care of His faithful servants. The Jews were very familiar of this illustration. [1] The poor in Israel ate sparrows since they only cost a fraction of a day"s wage. [2] The mention of the disciples" heavenly Father ( Matthew 10:29) stresses His care that extends to the numbering of his or her hairs. Often people think that God cares only for the big things in life and is unconcerned about the details. Jesus taught the opposite. God"s concern with details should give us confidence that He controls the larger affairs of life.
