Our picture today reminds us of what the Lord Jesus said about Iwo men, one of whom was wise, and the other foolish. If you wish to read about them in your Bible, you will find the story in Matthew 7:24-2724Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26And 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: 27And 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 7:24‑27). This is what it says:
“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 winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it 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.”
Dear reader, are you like the wise man or the foolish man? Are you sure you have built upon a safe foundation for eternity? Remember the Lord Jesus is the only Rock and Foundation on which you can build, if you would be safe in heaven when the storms of God’s judgment fall upon this sinful world. The Lord’s coming is so very near that you should not delay. Tomorrow may be too late!
