Sermon on the Mount: Two Builders

The wise builder heard the words of Jesus by faith believed what Jesus said is true, recognized Jesus’ authority. Because of Jesus’ authority demanded obedience, the wise builder built his life on the foundation of King Jesus – The rock of salvation. The foolish builder heard the words of Jesus, by faith believed what Jesus said might be true yet failed to fully recognize Jesus’ authority. Because of the failure to believe and submit to Jesus’ authority, the foolish builder built his life on the foundation of his own authority – The destruction of self.
