Is grass evil?

[HomeBound]

I don't know if this is the right place for this question but I found this verse strange

Mat 6:30

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?


Why would grass be thrown into the oven?

....

The verse in question is an a fortori argument. It goes like (it would help if you didn't try at KJV) this:

If God bothers with grass (which lasts for a very short amount of time), and you last longer than grass, how much more will God bother with you?

The emphasis is on time; hence the comparison to something that passes on quickly.

Grass has also been used to compare time lengths...

The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of God stands forever. (Is. 40:8)

so... ignor the part about the grass being cast into the oven/furnace?
