Matthew`s Biography of Jesus - The Wise and Foolish Builders
Jesus says, if we hear what he says but don't do it, Jesus says that's like building a house on sand: the winds and the rain are going to knock it down. It's the same in our lives: if we don't put Jesus' words into action our lives come crashing down around us, just like my computer. We end up with stress and worry, driven crazy with lust, plagued with anger, broken relationships, a sense that life isn't about anything other than getting up, going to work, going to bed, and doing it all over and over again. But Jesus says there's a way out of that trap, and it's simple: so simple Nike even uses it as their slogan. Just Do It. That's how Jesus ends his Sermon on the Mount: ?You've heard me. Now go do it.? And if we do, Jesus says we'll be like a house that's built on a rock. We will be able to withstand anything that life throws at us if we will just do what he says to do.

He is the savior, he takes care of us, we are God`s people and even when bad things happen we know that it will be ok because he will take care of us as long as we are true to him.

If you follow the teachings of Jesus and become a more kinder, gentler, more loving person you can bend with the storm with the faith that the sun will shine even more beautifully than before.

Jesus` words are perfect - His example is perfect. His wisdom is also perfect and if I seek to fully understand Him and follow His teachings, I will be strong enough to weather the storms, with His guidance and grace. I am so incredibly blessed to be able to worship and praise my Lord. Hallelujah! He lives!

The Wise and Foolish Builders

"Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock. The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn't fall, for it was founded on the rock. Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn't do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand. The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell--and great was its fall."
It happened, when Jesus had finished saying these things, that the multitudes were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.
