The Rock: Jesus

Are you familiar with the story of the wise man and the foolish man from Matthew 7:24-27? The story goes like this: The wise man builds his house upon the rocks and the foolish man builds his house on the sand. A storm as bad as a hurricane comes, and the house on the sand completely fell apart but, the house on the rocks stood firm. Obviously the wise man really was wise. He might of thought about building his house on the sand but he made the right choice.

Many other times in the Bible it says that God is our rock. If it says it a lot you know that it is no lie.

Here are some examples:

2 Samuel 22:32

For who is God, save the Lord? and who is a rock, save our God?

2 Samuel 22:2-3a

The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.

Deuteronomy 32:41

He is the Rock.

Psalm 31:3b

Be for me a great rock of safety, a fortress where my enemies can not reach me.

All these verses have something in common. They all talk about how Jesus is our rock and that we should rely on him to help us, and to not do it on our own.

The wise man in the story represents a christian who trusts in God to help him. He does the right thing even though he wants another thing.

The foolish man represents people who don’t trust in God to help them and try to do it themselves. He chooses the foolish way instead of the right way.
