My Beloved Ones in Christ Jesus,
This coming Lord’s Day, we will look once again at the words of Jesus as recorded in Luke 12:1-7. You will recall that in this episode, our Savior is teaching the disciples how they are to serve Him faithfully, especially in seasons of conflict and adversity. We have identified three main lessons, the first two we considered last week:
Be very wary of phony, hypocritical spiritual leaders (vv. 1-3)
Make sure you fear the right person (vv. 4-5)
Rest in your Father’s great love and providential care (vv. 6-7)
In verses 6-7, Jesus provides us with two very simple illustrations of our Father’s care for us. You can see that it involves “sparrows” and the “hairs” on our heads.
As we probe these words together on Sunday, we will discover the most wonderful things about the love, power, and wisdom of the One who has saved us by the blood of His Son. And, oddly enough, we shall learn that one sure way to make our vision of our Father bigger is to consider the small things!
Before I go, I want to pass on a link to a very good post from one of our faithful PCA pastors, Rev. Nick Batzig. Nick serves as the senior pastor of Church Creek PCA in Charleston, SC and is an associate editor for Ligonier Ministries. I think you’ll be blessed by his words, especially as we enter the month of June (which, as you know, has been tragically turned into a month long celebration of the worst kind of human depravity).

I love you all so much!
