  2. Explication du texte

Why does Jesus refer to flowers labouring and spinning?

Matthieu 6:28 (NEG79)

28 Et pourquoi vous inquiéter au sujet du vêtement? Considérez comment croissent les lis des champs: ils ne travaillent ni ne filent;

With the reference to spinning, Jesus is referring to the spinning process by which cloth was produced for clothing.1 The flowers of the field are provided for by the Lord without having to labour or spin. Since God provides for insignificant flowers, will he not just as surely provide for his children?
