The main part of the text set for reading and meditation is, as follows, Matthew 7:24-27 (NLT): “Anyone who listens to my (Jesus)teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the flood waters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock.
But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.”
To obey Jesus – is to exercise our ability to make choices.
I liked Selwyn’s conclusion: ” ‘If you build on My words.’ said Jesus, ‘your house will remain standing; if you don’t, it will go down with a crash.’ There are no exceptions – this will happen to everyone. Incorporate this truth into your life and, as you go your way, remind yourself constantly that the Christian way is not imposed on life but exposed by it. … “
The great crash
