What Ya Gonna Do?

 

Matthew 7:24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”

In this final chapter of the Sermon on the Mount Jesus we find a few well-known verses and principles: 1 “Judge not, that you be not judged;" 7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you;" 12 “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them; " 16 You will recognize them by their fruits. " These we all know well, but probably none of them stick as much as the picture above of the house and the rock.  It really presses us as to what we are going to do. Will we build our lives on faith or foolishness, Christ or carnality, obedience or our own self-reliance"
