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.
Luke 6.47-49 (King James Version) :Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
