—Matthew 7:24-29
by: Dale Rood.
Here is Jesus’ parable of the house built on the rock versus the house built on the sand. Notice in both instances, the people involved heard Jesus’ words. We are not dealing here with wickedness versus righteousness as in Psalm 1. We are dealing with good people who have heard God’s Word. The problem is in how they respond to God’s Word. Do they do what God’s Word directs them to do, or do they not? I wonder about the great crash when the house on the sand falls in v. 27. Some may be shocked when they consider how they have or have not devoted their lives to the Lord Jesus?
