So, are you wise? or are you foolish? Jesus said that the wise build on the firm foundation...the firm foundation of what? Well in Matthew 5-7 Jesus gives us the foundation to build upon. Jesus said that the wise would be the ones who listened and built upon the teachings in the sermon that He just delivered.
In our church we have been looking at the sermon on the mount for the past five months. It took Jesus just a couple of hours to deliver this sermon, it has taken me 5 months. Jesus, the greatest preacher of all time delivered the greatest sermon of all time in Matthew 5-7, that gives you a hint about what kind of preacher I am:) Figure it out, Jesus 2 hours, me 5 months...
Anyway, in order to show ourselves as wise builders we need to heed and obey the wisdom in the sermon on the mount. Of course the bottom line is that we show ourselves wise when we build on the foundation of Christ alone.
Tomorrow we will look at some of the things in the sermon on the mount that we need for a strong foundation, until then...Bro. Alan
