Matthew 7:29

Matthew 7:29

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.

Matthew 8:1 >>

Matthew 7:29 As [one] having authority. He spoke, not as a man, with human doubts and limitations, but as one who was omniscient. He came from God, and spoke as one divine; not as a human, hesitating, halting, limping expounders like the scribes, the interpreters of the Scriptures. On what are you building, my brother, Your hopes of an eternal home? Is it loose, shifting sand, or the firm, solid rock, You are trusting for the ages to come? Hearing and "doing", we build on the Rock; Hearing alone, we build on the sand; Both will be tried by the storm and the flood; Only the rock the trial will stand. —H.R. Trickett.
