Matthew 7 24-29
Amplifed….
“So everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them, will be like a wise
(a far-sighted, practical, and sensible man)
who built his house on the rock.
And the rain fell, and the floods and and torrents came, and winds blew and slammed against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.
And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them, will be like a
Foolish (stupid) man who built his house on the sand.
And the rain fell, and the floods and torrents came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—-and great and complete was its fall .”
When Jesus had finished (speaking) these words (on the mountain), the crowds were astonished and overwhelmed at his teaching;
For he was teaching them as one who had authority (to teach entirely of his own volition), and not as their scribes (who relied on others to confirm their authority).
*** IF YOU DO THE WORDS IN (MATHEW 5,
6, AND 7) THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT IN YOUR BIBLE. ***
*** YOUR HOUSE WILL BE BUILT ON THE ROCK….IF YOU DO NOT YOU ARE BUIDING ON THE SAND. ***
*** HIS TEACHING COVERS….
*** THE POOR IN SPIRIT AND THOSE WHO MOURN. ***
*** THE GENTLE AND KIND HEARTED AND THOSE WHO THIRST FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS AND THE MERCIFUL. ***
*** THE PURE IN HEART AND THE PEACEMAKERS AND THOSE WHO ARE PERSECUTED. ***
*** JESUS TEACHES OUR RELATIONSHIP TO THE WORLD AND ALL ABOUT PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS. ***
*** JESUS TEACHES ABOUT GIVING TO THE POOR AND PRAYER.
*** HE TEACHES US ABOUT TRUE TREASURE AND ABOUT MONEY. ***
*** JESUS SHOWS US HOW NOT TO WORRY ABOUT OUR NEEDS AND JUDGING OTHERS. ***
*** ABOUT PRAYER AND THE GOLDEN
RULE. ***
*** ABOUT THE NARROW AND WIDE
GATE. ***
*** ABOUT THE TREE AND ITS FRUIT. ***
