How much are sparrows worth? How much are you worth?

Question

Matthew 10:31
Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Answer 1

Amen! If God provides for the birds of the air and the beasts of the field, how much more will He bless us who He loves more!

Answer 2

Salam,

There is provisions made acceptable for those who are in need of those provisions. As for the worth of them that depends on the beholder. The creatures and animals have no soul, so they have behaviour, needs and instinct with desire but they have no soul. They are not human beings of Al Jinn or The Angels of the Lord to be given such in a soul. The animals are constantly saying the name of Allah SWT every waking second of the day so they know Allah SWT more than we do. Study them they are used to see into what you are doing also by Al Jinn they live 1000 years each and use the animals that are haram, some animals are spawned with a wicked nature.

Answer 3

I think sparrows were worth a couple of pennies. We are worth God coming to this earth to die for us so we can be forever with Him. All we need to do is ask!

Answer 4

A sparrow is priceless.
Apparently we are worth the human life of the the Son of God.

Answer 5

If we could only get a glimps of our value in the sight of God we would not even begin to live like we do. I would never give my child up to die for anyone, but God gave His Only Son for you and me. Putting that value on my head is far beyond my comprehension!

Blood Bought & Bountifully Blessed!

Answer 7

Pointing out that “two sparrows sell for a coin of small value [literally, an assarion, worth less than one cent]” or, if bought in quantities of five, “for two coins of small value,” Jesus stated that, though these small birds were counted as of such little worth, “yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s knowledge,” “Not one of them goes forgotten before God.” He then encouraged his disciples to be free from fear, assuring them, “You are worth more than many sparrows.”—Mt 10:29-31;

Both anciently and modernly, sparrows have been sold in the markets of the Middle East. As an item of food, they were plucked and spitted on wooden skewers and roasted (like shish kebabs). An ancient inscription of Emperor Diocletian’s tariff law (301 C.E.) shows that of all the birds used for food, sparrows were the cheapest.—Light From the Ancient East, by A. Deissmann, 1965, pp. 273, 274.

Although the sparrow appears in the Hebrew Scriptures in the King James Version (Ps 84:3; 102:7) and in other translations, the Hebrew term so rendered (tsip·pohr′) is evidently a generic term referring to small birds in general and not specifically identifying the sparrow.

Jesus restated this illustration sometime later—but with a slight difference. According to Luke 12:6, Jesus said: “Five sparrows sell for two coins of small value, do they not?” Think about it. For one coin of small value, a purchaser got two sparrows. But if he was prepared to spend two coins, he got not four sparrows but five. The extra bird was thrown into the deal as if it had no value at all. “Yet,” said Jesus, “not one of them [not even the one thrown into the bargain] goes forgotten before God.” Applying the illustration, Jesus concluded: “You are worth more than many sparrows.” (Luke 12:7) How those words must have encouraged his listeners!

Do you get the point of Jesus’ heartwarming illustration? If Jehovah considers even little birds to be of value, how much more must his earthly servants be dear to him! With Jehovah, none of us is lost in the crowd. Each of us is of such worth to Jehovah that he takes note of even the smallest detail about us—the very hairs of our heads are individually numbered.
