On the Rock or on tho Sand?
The picture or parable Of one House
built upon the rock and the other
house built upon The s;ind refers not
to the Church and the world. but to
two parties in the Church. None are
in the parable except chose who hear
these sayings of Mine" The world
hears not our Lords message at all.
AS the Apostle declares, the world Is
both deaf and blind to spiritual things.
Those who hearken to and appreciate
the Lords sayings represent at least
a nominal Church. and amongst those
of the nominal Church are some who
are obedient TO the Lords Word. while
others are disobedient The obedieut
are built upon the rock, the Glsobel II
cnt upon the sand.
Those who huild upon the rock our
Lord explains to be such as not only
hear His message, but are obedient
thereto to the extent of their ability.
Let us remember the words 10 which
He refers-they are the message of
the Se.nIon on the Mount. which show
the things which are blessed Of God
in contradistinction to the things
which would not have His approval.
Those who hear the Masters words
and say. Yea. Lord" but who do not
put His teachings into practice. are
not built properly upon the rock of
Truth, upon Christ. They are building
their hope. their faith their trust, upon
a foundation which will not stand.
When the time OF trouble comes upon
tuch their hopes will be undermined,
their faith will collapse.
We thank God that although many
of the nominal professors Of Chris
