“They Also Built But Foolishly”
Tuesday, August 20, 2024Key Verse
“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” (Matthew 7: 26).
Text — Matthew 7:24-29
Message
From our text we saw that what distinguished the wise and the foolish is obedience. The wise built his house on the rock, and this rock is Jesus. The foundation is rooted on salvation given freely by Christ to all who believe. The wise obeys all the teachings of Christ and anchors his lifestyle on the perfect will of God. Andrew Murray asserted that, “From beginning to the end, from paradise lost to paradise regained, the law is unchangeable – it is only obedience that gives access to the tree of life and the favour of God.” It is not so with the foolish as he hears the same truth and has equivalent intelligence to understand,but unfortunately fails to put it into practice.
Christian youths should continue to anchor their faith in Jesus by obeying the full orbed truth. They should be wary of their peers who would want to lure them into temptation. A solid foundation can only be sure if you follow the instruction given by Jesus – the Chief Corner Stone.
