The Wise Man



Matthew 7 says Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.

This is part of a larger story that includes the foolish man too, who builds his house on the sand.  So that when storms come, his house falls.

But this verse says those who  build on the rock (Jesus) are to be compared to the wise.

Why?

Because a wise man knows that storms will come and winds will blow, and something has to stay firm underneath his family so that no one is lost.

That foundation is Jesus. 

And we are wise if He is the foundation we give our children, we stand upon ourselves, and we invite others to stand with us.


No other name but the name of Jesus stands…when others fall.
