Matthew 10:31
Compare all
29 Are not two asparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.  
30 aBut the very hairs of your head are all numbered.  
31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Confess Christ Before Men

32 a“Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, bhim I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.  
33 aBut whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.  

Christ Brings Division

34 a“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.  
35 For I have come to a‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’;

Matthew 10:31

Fear ye not - ye are of more value - None can estimate the value of a soul, for which Christ has given his blood and life! Have confidence in his goodness; for he who so dearly purchased thee will miraculously preserve and save thee. Did the poet intend to contradict Christ when he said: -

"He sees with equal eye, as God of all,

A Hero perish, or a Sparrow fall?"

How cold and meagre is this shallow deistical saying! But could the poet mean, that a sparrow is of as much worth in the sight of God, who regards (if we may believe him) things only in general, as an immortal soul, purchased by the sacrifice of Christ?
