So what is the biblical meaning of a sparrow?

The sparrow gains their power in life and this bird is also connected to Christ on the Mount of Olives. There are also various stories in the Bible of how Christ has made 12 sparrows out of clay in Joseph’s workshop. In a biblical sense the sparrow was a symbolism of the lowly, and also was supposed to be given the protection of God the Father. The sparrow came to this world through God’s will. God received the sparrow as a form of life. So how can we transfer the biblical meaning of the sparrow to the modern world? The sparrow - from a biblical sense is associated with the inner desire and will in life. Perhaps the sparrow can teach us how to focus on our own life - rather than others and material possessions. The sparrow itself can indicate the fact that you need to keep on working in life. Working not only in a material sense but also in a spiritual sense. The biblical connection of the sparrow is focused on compassion. In the bible, Jesus knew that the sparrow should not be forgotten. Jesus was focused on communicating how God loves mankind. Jesus said “Not one sparrow is forgotten in the sight of God” this shows the amount of care that God has for this bird and mankind. Oh and let’s not forget the most famous biblical saying from Luke 12:6 “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten by God. So fear not! You are more valuable than many sparrows” So, what does this mean? There is many references to this saying, but basically, I believe it is a way for Jesus to take a common animal and apply a value to this bird.

The sparrow is protected and loved by supreme God. Thus, the love of God will occur for us all. It is a living thing which has a soul. This I believe was Jesus way of saying God is here to love us. Additionally, in the middle east, it was recorded that they eat sparrows for cheap food, according to Matthew for five for two pennies. Jesus was referring to the “Passer Domesticus” which basically is the house sparrow translated. If we look at Sumerian Cuneiform writing the sparrow is a symbol for “beware of the enemy!” In another biblical connection to sparrows, Saint Dominic said that a sparrow that flew into his lecture was the incarnation of the devil! He then caught the sparrow and plucked the feathers! Yes, I bet that was rather worrying! Now, we touched on the “sex” connection of the sparrow earlier in this article but interestingly in the 16th century a clergyman in Germany banned a sparrow from entering a church due to the sparrow causing sexual promiscuity to his congregation! We know that sparrows have sex - in fact, a lot of sex! They do however choose one partner for life. Even so, they do multiply quickly, but, unfortunately, the house sparrow is in decline, so an environmentalist declared March 20th World Sparrow Day to try to save the poor sparrow.

As I conclude this wonderful article, when you next see a sparrow swiftly flying through the air remember that even though it is a small bird it is a master which is reminding us that we need to think more about our life away from the material side of things. Here is my final question to you! Is it not more interesting having lunch with a set of friends or family than going out and buying the dress alone?
