The Wise Man & The Foolish Builders

Mar 26, 2023    Rev. Kaitlyn Tebordo

In this parable there are 2 controls and 1 variable. 

1. We are all building something - there are no other characters in this parable, no way to be anything but someone building.

2. Both builders, no matter their foundation, face storms. Storms are a given.


So the variable is the foundation - what is it that we build our lives on and how does that effect the way we experience storms?


The passage comes in both Matthew & Luke at the end of the "Sermon on the Mount" & "Sermon on the Plain" as a culminating lesson - it is not enough to hear these challenging words from Jesus and agree without changing anything. We must be people who act in such a way that we are building an unshakable life in Christ.
