#2588 – On the Rock

Good morning people who build their lives upon a revelation of Jesus

Jesus said:

Matthew 7:24-27 (NIV) 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.”

Hearing what God says is important. To hear, we need to be listening. But hearing is not enough – obeying what we have heard is important.

Wise people build their lives on knowing Jesus and seeing Him as He is. Revelation of Jesus is the rock as it relates both here and in Matthew 16:18, and people who build on this will stand strong through every season.

Here’s the truth: everyone will go through difficult times.

The question is: “Will it be with Jesus or without Him?”
