Jesus told a story about two builders.
A wise man built his house on a strong rock. When the rain came and the wind blew, his house stood strong!
A foolish man built his house on sand. When the storm came, his house fell down with a big crash! Jesus said, “Listening to me and doing what I say is like building on the rock.”
