Perhaps, like many of the sayings of Jesus, this is hard to understand not because it's so difficult or so complex, but because it's so very simple. In any case, I think it would definitely be a mistake to interpret the saying as a kind of general metaphysical statement about God, or as a theological definition of divine sovereignty. Rather what's being said is far more simple and far more direct: we can be free of care, because the Father of Jesus cares for us.Ben Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03800127501735910966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-1130627782114376952005-10-29T19:16:00.000-04:002005-10-29T19:16:00.000-04:00This is one of the most-heard but least understood...This is one of the most-heard but least understood passages in the Bible - it has to be.
