Matthew 7: 21, 24-27
True and False Disciple
21 “Not
everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of
heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in
heaven.

The Wise and Foolish Builders
24 “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. 25 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. 26 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. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
Jesus does not want empty words or promises, but ACTION! It is by DOING the will of the Father, by basing our lives solidly on Jesus...love for him, acting like him... that we will survive the rains and storms caused by the people and events we encounter daily. It is not easy to be insulted, taken for granted, be abused verbally, or to live in fear of the next berating, but with Jesus as the foundation stone on which we are building our house, we will withstand all of this and more, for we are wisely building on Jesus, our Rock.
