Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.
Luke 12:6-7
God loves people. And the person telling us this truth in this passage is Jesus Himself, God in the flesh, Who would give His life on the cross to show the immeasurable love of God for people. Humans put a price on virtually everything. But the price that God paid to save us is the ultimate cost. We need not fear. Jesus has proven His love for us!
What God treasures at the cost of the life of His Son, we should not trifle with. This is one reason why human actions that devalue life such as murder, abortion, racial hatred, genocide, and war are all evil. When we set our estimation of the value of all people everywhere from God’s perspective, all human life is precious, to be recognized as bought with the blood of Jesus!
Even the most corrupt sinner has been loved by Jesus. He died and rose for all humanity. No life is worthless in the eyes of our Savior, and should not be in ours either. We should treasure that truth!
