What Does Matthew 7:25 Mean?
Jesus describes the testing that comes to the wise builder's house. Rain, flood, and wind, the fierce storms familiar in his land, strike against it with full force, holding nothing back.
The house stands, and the reason is given plainly: it was founded upon rock. So the life built on hearing and doing Christ's words endures every trial, whether trouble, temptation, or the final judgment. Jesus assures us that obedience now lays a foundation that the storms cannot wash away. What is built upon Him will not fall.
