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.
Thank you Jesus for
always being there for us. Amen?
