And here the stupid Jesus thinks that God feeds birds—he thinks that birds put no effort into hunting for berries, seeds, insects, fish. Needless to say, that is very wrong. Birds frequently must abandon some of their chicks because they don't have enough food for all, and sometimes they even eat their young and feed them to each other.
This must be another of Jesus' cannibalistic teachings.
If one really knew who the Lord Jesus, the Christ Is, one would think twice about unnecessarily, unwisely insulting Him. In principle, we ought not even insult each other... so why do so?
The ground/earth and creation were cursed because of the severity of the event of the fall of Adam/man, the result of which was work to this present day. "In toil" and "in the sweat" of our faces, we eat of the ground all the days of our lives... until dust to dust (Genesis 3:17-20).
The Lord Jesus is the Word, and word/holy Bible unequivocally commands that human beings work:
"Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need." - Ephesians 4:28 and also in part "...If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat." - 2 Thessalonians 3:10
So, you are mistaken regarding the Lord Jesus' intent because the entire word (though it may not appear so to some), is harmonious.
The point of that sermon was that we should not preoccupy ourselves with the pursuit of the material, becoming consumed or anxious thereby because those things have an end. Rather, while pursuing those things for daily sustenance, we should focus on our individual reconciliation and relationship with the Almighty - things involving matters of faith, and not flesh which passes.
"For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?" - Mark 8:36
Priorities!
