From The Lips Of Jesus

Sparrow

 

   Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.   Matthew 10:29,31 

 ----------------------------------------------------------

 

      Many limit divine Providence and divorce mercy and love from His character. They urge that the greatness and majesty of God would forbid His interesting Himself in the concerns of the weakest of His creatures. "Are not two sparrows sold for a without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows."     Many limit divine Providence and divorce mercy and love from His character. They urge that the greatness and majesty of God would forbid His interesting Himself in the concerns of the weakest of His creatures. "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows."

       

T4  P 522

-----------------------------------------------------------

     Not even a sparrow falls to the ground without the Father's notice. Satan's hatred against God leads him to hate every object of the Saviour's care. He seeks to mar the handiwork of God, and he delights in destroying even the dumb creatures. It is only through God's protecting care that the birds are preserved to gladden us with their songs of joy.

But He does not forget even the sparrows. "Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows."

 The Desire of Ages   P 356

-----------------------------------------------------------

     "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father." Think of it, not one of these little brown sparrows that are caroling forth their praises to God will fall to the ground without the notice of the heavenly Father. Not one of these little brown sparrows that the boys so ruthlessly kill, drops to the ground but his eye marks its fall. "But the very hairs of your head are all numbered." If God cares for a sparrow that has no soul, how will he care for the purchase of the blood of Christ? One soul is worth more than all the world. For one soul Jesus would have passed through the agony of Calvary that that one might be saved in his kingdom. "Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows."
