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.
