"And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows."
In today's quote Jesus reminded His followers to be afraid of those who teach false doctrines that might cause some to lose their own souls. He was referring to the Pharisees, scribe and lawyers as being the hypocritical false teachers.
Also, though today's lesson is a short and simple one, it relates that nothing can be hidden from God. Our lives are as open books so far as God is concerned. ~
