“The Lilies of the Field, How They Grow”

Brant Gardner

Jesus’s point is not the grass’s beauty but its short life. It can be cut by harvesters or cropped by animals. Dried grass can be burned. Grass often loses some of what it produces. Yet God ensures that it grows again, and he will similarly care for our needs.

Comparison: There is no change from the Matthean text.
