Matthew 6:26-28


The Sermon on the Mount is recorded in chapters 5-7 in the Book of Matthew. Jesus delivered this message near the beginning of His ministry, and it is the longest of Jesus’ sermons recorded in the New Testament. Jesus is teaching about money’s place in the hearts and minds of God’s people. To live for the purpose of building wealth on earth for oneself, Jesus has said, is like living with bad eyes. It creates moral darkness inside a person. Instead, God’s people should live in light by serving Him, not money. The discussion of worry about material provisions.

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
Matthew 6:26-28
