Matthew 7:24-27

Matthew 7:24-27

Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise . . . it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come . . . , it will collapse with a mighty crash.

The analogies that Jesus uses here teach us about the foundation of the Christian faith. If we want to build our lives on something solid, then we must truly believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that his teachings will help us live with wisdom and purpose. Do you strive to know and follow Jesus by meditating on his words and obeying his message?
