Luke 6:46 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 6:46

44 For ^aevery tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.

45 ^aA good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil¹ treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out ^bof the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

Build on the Rock

46 ^a“But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?

47 ^aWhoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like:

48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was¹ founded on the rock.

49 But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it¹ fell. And the ruin of that house was great.”
