What Should We Do with the Words of Jesus? – Matthew 7:24-29
Scripture
24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
28 And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, 29 for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.
Description
As Jesus concludes the Sermon on the Mount, He tells us how he wants us to respond to His words. We learn that Jesus speaks with one-of-a-kind authority and with eternal implications, but He speaks so we can be saved by faith in Him.
