Green Verses: a series which seeks to highlight scriptures that point to God as the Creator, His sovereignty over the earth, His redemption of the earth, and our call to participate in that redemption. Take a moment and reflect on what God might be saying through His Word.

 

Luke 12:6

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten in God’s sight.

I love how this verse highlights the value of all of creation. Here we see that what we might regard as insignificant is highly appreciated, looked after, and cared for by God.

In this particular verse, Jesus specifically emphasizes the importance of God’s creatures. Listen to what my friend Ben DeVries of Not One Sparrow has to say about this:

And if God places so much value in each of his creatures, how can we model ourselves after him by not making an effort to do the same?  Every animal is a unique witness to us and the world of God’s grace, and deserves our respect and admiration on behalf of their Creator.

Good word. As followers of Christ, His values should be our values, His concerns our concerns, His care our care, His love our love.
