What Was Jesus' Favorite Bird? Mar 30, 2023

Show notes

Do you think Jesus had a favorite bird? If he did it might have been... (spoiler alert!)...

The house sparrow!

The house sparrow is one of the most common birds, found on every continent except Antartica. The oldest fossil of a house sparrow was found in Bethlehem. It's likely that Jesus grew up with house sparrows much like the ones in our own yards! But when we learn a little more about how Jesus taught using birds in the Bible, and how much it takes to feed a house sparrow, we discover powerful truth in God's promise of provision.
