Matthew 7:24-29

Living Bible

²⁴ “All who listen to my instructions and follow them are wise, like a man who builds his house on solid rock. ²⁵ Though the rain comes in torrents, and the floods rise and the storm winds beat against his house, it won’t collapse, for it is built on rock.

²⁶ “But those who hear my instructions and ignore them are foolish, like a man who builds his house on sand. ²⁷ For when the rains and floods come, and storm winds beat against his house, it will fall with a mighty crash.” ²⁸ The crowds were amazed at Jesus’ sermons, ²⁹ for he taught as one who had great authority, and not as their Jewish leaders.^[a]
