Matthew 6:25-27
Do Not Worry
25 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26 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? 27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
John 14:1-4
1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”
Jesus teaches us a lesson on worry...He tells us not to worry about our life, what we will eat or drink; or about our body, or what we will wear...Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?...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?...Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?...Then on the night of His arrest and eventual death, He seems not to be worried...Instead of being worried about Himself and His death, He is trying to comfort and prepare His Disciples for His death and leaving them...
