Not One Sparrow
Students may read Luke 12:6-7 or all of verses 1-12
Thousands of people gathered to hear Jesus speak one day. He told them to beware of the Pharisees and their secret plans. But he also said they should not be afraid. Then, Jesus talked about tiny birds saying, “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten in God’s sight.” And as for people, Jesus said, “The very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.”
Discussion Questions
Why do you think each one of us is valuable to God? Jesus often said, “Fear not,” and “Be not afraid.” Why do people struggle with fear so much? Whenever we feel afraid, we can remember that God knows us and loves us.
