ISB ~ Matthew 6 v28 - 30

Jesus teaches with the logic of Jewish rabbis:the lesser fact of God’s care for lilies (6:28) implies God’s greater concern for men (6:30; CCC 2830).

• Anagogically: God supplies our physical needs to signify his greater concern for our spiritual needs. As his care for the lilies and the grass is outmatched by his provision of clothing for us, so the garments we receive prefigure God’s desire to clothe us with glory and immortality in heaven (cf. 1 Cor 15:51-55; Rev 19:7-8).
