A sparrow is a small brown bird. Sparrows live near humans and have a pretty, musical song. They come in many varieties
Psalm 84:3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
Psalm 102:7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
The Lord Jesus used the common sparrow to show how much He loves and cares for humans:
Matthew 10:29-31 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.
Luke also records the words of the Lord Jesus:
Luke 12:6-7 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
How important is man to God? He came and died for our sin!
