“Anyone who listens to my teaching and obeys
is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.” – Matthew 7: 24
HOW many of
us – anyone out there? – can claim to be masters in the art of living? We all
make mistakes, have regrets, secrets and are forced to change our strategies
and plans according to circumstances beyond our control. Even many contemporary
Christians, who have committed their lives to Christ’s way of living, sometimes
battle to find His teachings essential to shaping their responses to 2013’s social
hurricanes and push button global whirlwinds. It can seem so old fashioned.
In truth, the more things change, the
more they stay the same. The best life strategy then, is still the best life
strategy now as the plot of life on earth thickens, just as foretold. Building
your house – your life – on His rock gives structural, moral and spiritual security
against the storms of this post-modern world now exactly as it did then. Christ
is the eternal truth. The wise do well to listen – and to obey.
