Jesus Christ: The Rock of Life! Matthew 7:24-27

24 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:
25 And 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.
26 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:
27 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.

Jesus is the rock of life. A person who builds their life on the words of Jesus is like a man who built his house using a rock for the foundation.

A person who builds their life by trusting in anything else is like a man who built his house on sand.

The foundations of your life are the things you trust in. Can those things stand the test of time? So many are being devastated because their lives are built on sand. Sand represents those things we trust in such as money, investments, careers, education, people, our status in life, the government, the doctor, lawyers, our own abilities, business savvy, street smarts, man made institutions, just to name a few!

There are so many things that we trust in to succeed in life! But Jesus said a life built on trust in these things will eventually collapse, and great will be the fall of it. Because the pressures of life will come and beat upon us and the foundations upon which we live will be tested. And only the life built upon the words of Jesus will stand, both in time and eternity!

Jesus and his words are the only solid foundation that will withstand the rain, floods and winds of life! Don't wait 'til your house falls before you establish it upon the rock. Jesus is the rock. And salvation is how to be founded on Him!

Repent of your sins, and call upon Jesus to be saved. Then build your life upon the rock day by day, believing and obeying his words.

Your house will never fall!
