To read the texts click on the texts: 2 Kings 24:8-17; Mt 7:21-29
While the Sermon on the Mount began with Jesus calling his
disciples to him and sitting down like a Rabbi to begin to teach them (5:1-2),
it ends with Jesus addressing the crowds as a prophet (7:29).
The last part of
the Sermon, which forms our text for today, is about action rather than words.
Prophesying in the Lord’s name will be of no help if one is not willing TO DO
the will of God. The examples of the one who built his/her house on rock and
the one who built his/her house on sand reiterate this point. The Sermon calls
everyone to action.
If the foundation of our lives is strong, then what we build on
it will also be strong. If we have a strong sense of values and know what
our priorities are in life, we can continue to be focussed on what we have to
do.
