Jesus used the birds to illustrate his teaching:
I am going to tell us right now about how Jesus taught his people when he was on earth long ago. He used the birds as an example. And this is what he said: “The birds don’t sow seeds, but Dupade provides food for them. Observe them,” he said. “They don’t sow seeds, but they’re eating food. The one they trust to provide for them is Dupade, their creator.”
Jesus also used flowers to illustrate his teaching:
He also used flowers as examples and this is what he told his disciples and his countrymen: “Just look at the flowers. They don’t wear clothing to make them look beautiful; it’s just how Dupade made them. Their beauty is their clothing.”
Jesus used these things to teach them that we should not worry about ourselves:
Then Jesus said: “I tell you this so that you will stop worrying about not having food, or not having clothing.”
These things that Jesus’ taught about the birds and the flowers show us how willing Dupade is to provide the things we need for us. So trust him for what you need.
Dupade says to us: “First obey my commands.” It is not hard to obey Dupade, and it will never make us tired. Dupade is saying that we should be doing good things. It’s a good thing to stop sinning, and to start doing what Jesus, and our father Dupade, teach us to do.
The things that Jesus taught are for us today. What He tells us is that we won’t be hungry, and we won’t be thirsty anymore. The reason He tells us this is so that we might trust him and stop doing ugly things like stealing or anything else that Dupade hates, and instead, doing all the good that we can do.
That’s what these teachings of Jesus are all about. That’s why he gave the example of the flowers and said that the flowers didn’t have hands to groom themselves or to make beautiful clothing for themselves. And the example of the birds that don’t have hands and cannot plant crops – but they always have food. That’s because this is how they were created by Dupade, and Dupade provides for his creation. Jesus wanted us to know this and that’s why he used these examples in his teachings.
Dupade, our creator, has given us hands and strength:
We are the ones he is referring to. He wanted us to stop worrying about our physical needs. Dupade has given us hands so that we could have the means of grooming ourselves and working to provide ourselves with the things we need. You see how the birds and the flowers don’t have a means of providing for themselves, because they were made without hands. But the birds have food, and the flowers have beauty. That’s because Dupade is their creator – he is their hands and he is the one who makes them beautiful. God provides for us also for we were made in his image in the very beginning. (Matthew 6:31-34)
