Lesson 5333

 (Lesson 5333)(09-13-26) Luke 6:47-49 

    " Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great." 

 

      In today's quote, Jesus concluded the Sermon on the Plain by comparing the person who hears and obeys His words to a person whose belief is set on solid ground and is able to withstand the torrent of lies and false gospels that were sure to come. Jesus likened that to another person who hears the word of God without actually believing it and receiving it in his/her heart, whose faith fails completely when the flood of diversity comes. ~
