A person who lives by the principles of the sermon on the mount is seen by the world as a fool, but by Jesus, a wise man. A person who lives by sight, lives for the present, and lives for self, is seen by the world as a wise man, but by Jesus, a fool.
24 “Anyone who listens to My teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock.26 But anyone who hears My teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand.27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.”28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at His teaching, 29 for He taught with real authority–quite unlike their teachers of religious law.
