Die gedeelte in Matthéüs oor spreeus en hare, sê Jesus het die dissipels geleer om nie te vrees nie. Hy het elke mossie geskep, elke menslike liggaam en elke haar getel. “Want in Hom is alle dinge geskape wat in die hemel en op die aarde is, wat sienlik en onsienlik is, trone sowel as heerskappye en owerhede en magte – alle dinge is deur Hom en tot Hom geskape. En Hy is voor alle dinge, en in Hom hou alle dinge stand” (Kolossense 1:16-17).

In the passage in Matthew about sparrows and hair, Jesus was teaching the disciples not to fear. He had created every sparrow, formed every human body and numbered every hair. "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth...All things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist" (Colossians 1:16-17). But the disciples still did not understand. Oh, how Jesus must have longed to take them into such intricacies — of how He made the wings and bones of the sparrows and how He designed the hair. No mere carpenter could figure it all out — all of it so fearful and amazing!
