The Foundation: Only One Will Last

Regardless of interior or exterior appeal, the most important piece to any building or home is what lies beneath, namely, its foundation. The foundation (though mostly unseen) determines the structural integrity and longevity of a house. Jesus speaks to the importance of having the right foundation in our lives and families. In today’s parable, two builders face the same storm, yet with two different fates…only one house remains standing. We know from Scripture that the BIG STORM—Judgment Day—is coming; no life will be untouched. However, only homes (i.e., lives) that are built on Jesus and His Word will stand steadfast. The incredible news: God’s grace allows rebuilds; He even empowers them. Moreover, each new day is more time to build upon the one foundation that will last for eternity.
