The house built on rock
This article examines the biblical parable of the two houses, found in Matthew and Luke, to illustrate the importance of putting Jesus' teachings into practice. Those who follow his words are compared to wise builders who build on a solid foundation, while those who do not obey are like people building on sand. The parable highlights the importance of active obedience rather than merely listening.
Matthew 7.24-27 (King James Version) :Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
