Matthew 7:21-29

Jesus teaches about those who build houses on rock and sand Matthew 7:21-29; Luke 6:46-49; Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, Luke 6:47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: Luke 6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: Matthew 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. Matthew 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: Luke 6:49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; Matthew 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great. Matthew 7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: Matthew 7:29 For he taught them as [one] having authority, and not as the scribes.
