What happensPermalink
Jesus teaches the crowds and His disciples both directly and in parables. He admonishes them not to fear or be anxious, for God cares even for the sparrows, and much more for them.
Why it mattersPermalink
This passage is parallel to various sermons in the other gospels. Jesus teaches to seek not earthly prosperity or security but the kingdom of God, and God will take care of the rest.
Key versePermalink
“Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.”
