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 windsblew, 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.

Matthew's version of the parable has a "more complex narrative structure" [3] than Luke's, mentioning rain and winds as well as floods. These forces are usually interpreted ethically, as trials of life that can be resisted by a life founded on Christian doctrine,[3] but can also be interpreted eschatologically.

By "rain" here, and "floods," and "winds," He is expressing metaphorically the calamities and afflictions that befall men; such as false accusations, plots, bereavements, deaths, loss of friends, vexations from strangers, all the ills in our life that any one could mention. "But to none of these," says He, "does such a soul give way; and the cause is, it is founded on the rock." He calls the steadfastness of His doctrine a rock; because in truth His commands are stronger than any rock, setting one above all the waves of human affairs. For he who keeps these things strictly, will not have the advantage of men only when they are vexing him, but even of the very devils plotting against him. And that it is not vain boasting so to speak, Job is our witness, who received all the assaults of the devil, and stood unmoveable; and the apostles too are our witnesses, for that when the waves of the whole world were beating against them, when both nations and princes, both their own people and strangers, both the evil spirits, and the devil, and every engine was set in motion, they stood firmer than a rock, and dispersed it all.[4]

Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall. (Matthew 7:24-27, NKJV)

Rain came, wind blewMy house was built on You (this is how I made it)I'm safe with YouI'm gonna make it through (I'll make it)Rain came, wind blew (they tried to knock me out, they tried to shake me up)My house was built on You (but my house was built on You)I'm safe with YouI'm gonna make it through (I'm gonna make it)

Jonathan said to me "Dad if you build your house on sand when it storms it will fall down, so you should build on a big rock" and so I asked him "what is the rock that a house should be built on?" and he answered "Jesus!"...apparently he had been paying some measure of attention in our Children's church. I then asked him "what is the sand?...and he said "anything else" .

This simple exchange showed a grasp of something that few of us learn in this life, that the our house of our lives needs to be built on Jesus Christ alone. The house on a rock is drawn from "Sermon on the Mount" which we find in the Gospel account of Matt 7: 24-27.

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock .he rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." Matt:7:24-27

Jesus, using a rhetorical illustration shows us something that will keep us stable in all storms of this life. The sand he was speaking of was that which we find around the Sea of Galilee. Many in Jesus' audience would have been familiar with the practice of mistaking the hard dry sand for that area for stable building foundation. Some, would look about and seeing the dry sand would begin building their homes using the seemingly hard sand as their foundation. And as long as the weather cooperated and there was no hard storms in the area or only very light rains their houses stayed standing.

However, what they could and should have done was to dig down and excavating the sand away, which had they done so, they would have found solid bedrock on which they could have built. This solid bedrock which underlays the whole area is massive in size and in depth is solid and virtually unshakable and would have provided all the stability that they could ever have needed. No amount of rain could have washed this rock away; it is a permanent as anything in the earth can be. Unshakeable and strong.

But , as it is in life, the seemingly stable house which these persons had built on what they believed to a good foundation came under the weather of the Galilean rainy season. Storms quickly and unpredictably would arise and rain would fall from the sky which caused sand to turn into mud. This quickly dissolving and washing away the sand foundation, on which the people had built their houses, all of it gave way under the falling rain and the winds blowing in off the low lying Sea of Galilee, which sat in a creator like depression in the earth would accelerate the wind and the driving rains.

Ā Inevitable , as the foundation shifted and devolved the wall of the house would give way to it's own weight the roof would come down as Jesus said "and it fell with a great crash" every thing those people who lived there had built was now gone in a moment, washed away and collapsed.

The foundation was unsuitable to face the weather. All gone all lost in pile of tangled ruble. It was inevitable, it always happened when a house is built on the wrong foundation. The bedrock would have been better, their house would still stand in spite of the wind and rain.

Ā The lesson is , that many people in life are like those house builders who chose to build on what they believe to be a solid foundation, a foundation which will not allow their house to stand, it can't, when storms arise the rain falls or winds blow it is inevitable the house of their live will come down with a great crash.Ā 

Jesus said "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.he rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock"

Jesus is that Rock that we can build on no amount of wind or rain , that is the storms of life , will wash Him away. Jesus is unshakeable and strong without measure. He is able to see us through any thing that blows our way. We need to clear away the sand so that our lives can be build on the rock that is Jesus.

All other will fail us, no person, gold or silver, bricks or mortar, titles position, fame, what ever it is that we build the house of our life upon will sustain and give us stability and bear us up during the storms of life. Jesus is there, practically underfoot the whole time just like that bedrock, unshakeable ,strong and willing to be our foundation. Build your life on Jesus, all others are sand that will wash away and collapse your house when the rains fall and the wind blows. ...Jesus is the Rock, anything else is just sand ..

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice, is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against the house, and it fell with a great crash. (Matt. 7:24-27)

Interestingly, many of the houses in our Vancouver neighborhood do not have a firm foundation. While some areas in the city have solid rock to build on, our neighborhood is built on a peat bog near a lake! You can just imagine some of the slanting floors and leaning walls in older homes that are not built on deep pilings.

If our spiritual houses, which are being built in our hearts and minds, are solidly based on Jesus and his Word, we can have complete confidence that no matter what happens, our souls are secure. This means grounding ourselves in Christ every day and making wise choices through the guidance of his Spirit before the storms of life come. Only in him can we be assured that our foundation is rock-solid.

The windshield wipers went back and forth. Mary Rose watched as the rain drops hit the window and slid down. She was glad she had worn her rain coat. On these particular Sunday mornings Daddy tried to park as close to the church building as he could, though they would still have a short ways to walk. Step, step sploosh! Right in a puddle. Mary Rose ended up with very wet feet and a few sprinkles on her face. Her Daddy came by and swooped her up into his arms. The next moment they were inside. Everyone was happy for the rain. All the growing things seemed to be drinking it up. Rainwater. Everywhere. It was making little rivers in the sand just beside the wooden steps. Next thing they knew the rain gutter broke and swoosh! Water gushed down next to the steps washing the sand away making a big hole. The steps became unsteady and were not safe to climb. Everyone would have to use the back door until the hole was fixed. e24fc04721
