22.05.24 “Foundation Truth” (Matt. 7:24-27)

 

I wonder what houses are like where you live in the world. Have you ever seen houses built on stilts or pillars because floods or high tides come there often? Or houses built up in trees, or houses made of mud, or I even know of a place where the house walls are made of cow dung with a little mud mixed in! Of all the various parts of a house, which part is most important? The roof, the walls, the floor, the foundation, the plumbing or electric, the doors or windows?   Today we finally come to the end of a long message Jesus once gave, and His disciple Matthew recorded for us in three chapters of his book, Matt. 5,6,7. Jesus said: "Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, yet it did not fall because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does NOT put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against the house, and it fell with a great crash."
