“两只麻雀不是卖一个大钱吗？但你们的父若不许可，一只也不会掉在地上。”
马太福音 10:29
“For only a penny you can buy two sparrows, yet not one sparrow falls to the ground without your Father's consent.”
Matthew 10:29
Part of the emphasis in today’s reading is the value God places on every human life. When we face the death of those dear to us—or our own death—it is a comfort to remember how deeply God cares for us. In fact, the psalmist accentuates this assurance, saying, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants” (Ps. 116:15).
Amazing—the eternal God is concerned about the human experience of death. Though this death is the consequence of our rebellion and fall, God offers us His life so that even though we will inevitably face physical death Jesus promises, “The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die” (John 11:25–26).
This shows that His promise to always be with us extends through this life and beyond—even surpassing death.
