Jesus ended the Sermon on the
Mount, in Matthew 7, by telling a story.
“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. 25 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. 26 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. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and
the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” 28
When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his
teaching, 29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their
teachers of the law.
We need to learn to build our
life on the Bible so that we’re building on solid rock. When the storms and
trials and difficulties of life come, you’ll be able to handle it. Knowing Jesus
as Savior and applying the Bible to your life enables you to withstand life’s
storms.
