Hear and Do
“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. 48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”
Luke 6: 46-49
First Thoughts
It is much harder to build a house on rock. The work is slow and difficult compared to building on sand. Jesus does not say ‘if’ a flood comes but ‘when’. We all will have disasters that will come upon us at one time or another. If you have applied Jesus’ teaching to your life you will survive when the disaster strikes, even though it is difficult and slow to apply what he teaches. When disaster strikes you will be glad that you did.
