Aug 25, 2024 - Wise & Foolish Builders

Matthew 7:24-27 is part of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount and serves as a concluding illustration about the importance of not just hearing His teachings but putting them into practice. In this passage, Jesus compares two builders: one who builds his house on a solid rock and another who builds on sand. The house on the rock withstands rain, floods, and winds, while the house on the sand collapses when faced with the same conditions. This analogy emphasizes that a life built on a foundation of obedience to Jesus' words will be stable and enduring, while a life that ignores His teachings will ultimately fail when faced with adversity.
