Matthew 7:26 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 7:26

Build on the Rock

24 “Therefore ^awhoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:

25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:

27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

28 And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that ^athe people were astonished at His teaching,

29 ^afor He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
