PARABLE 17 OF 22
The Wise and Foolish Builders
Mattityahu 7:24–27
PARABLE · TO THE CROWDS
Two men build houses — one on rock, one on sand. The storms come and one stands, one falls.
The difference is not in the storm — both got the same weather. The difference is in the foundation: hearing Yeshua's words and doing them. Hearing alone makes a sand-house. Yeshua closes His Sermon on the Mount with this; everything He has just said is the rock.
