I have been to Venice, and travelled on a gondola,we were only there for the day,Venice is a very old city,it came into being on March 25 ,421 AD.It was built on marsh lands.How were they able to do that?,a good question,well they discovered a place where there was clay,so that enabled them to build the city of Venice if they had not discovered the clay Venice could not have been built. You must have a good foundation, you cannot or should not build on sand.In Matthew 7 v 24-27 our dear Saviour told the story of two builders ,one was foolish,the other wise,one built his house on sand,the other built his house on rock.this is what followed,a severe storm came,rain and strong winds,the result was the house built on sand collapsed,but the other stood firm ,because it was built upon rock.So what is Jesus seeking to teach us? He is teaching us the importance of not just hearing what He taught,but to obey it.Those who don't are classed as being foolish,the house they built, fell with a great crash,emphasising the severe consequences of disobedience.One writer said,'It is Jesus claim that obedience to Him is the only sure foundation for life;and that it is His promise that the life which is founded on obedience to Him is safe,no matter what storms may come'.
