In the final section of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, He uses an illustration from home building.  He tells His followers that His words are not merely to be heard and admired, but understood and applied to daily lives.  In fact, if we merely hear and admire, we are as foolish as someone who goes to great lengths to build a new house, but neglects the important step of establishing a solid foundation of the home.

Hearing may be good and necessary, but to experience the benefits of Christ’s wisdom, we are called to put His teaching into practice.
