This question was asked by Jesus following his warning against giving too much attention to eat ing and drinking and clothes. Eat ing, drinking and dressing have to do with temporary things. Of course, the food and the clothing that are essential to life and ef ficiency must be provided. Jesus did not mean to encourage any neglect on the part of lazy, thrift less people to provide for these necessities of life. He would have, doubtless, condemned any such neglect.

They deserve no place of prominence in a human life. To eat and drink and “frolic” and make a big display of dress re veals one’s close kinship to the lower animals. These are animal traits and are all right for animals. But they are not worthy of men. The question, “Is not the life more than meat, and the body more than raiment?” is very ap propriate for our day.
