Jesus ends the Sermon on the Mount with a striking image: two builders, one wise and one foolish. The wise man builds his house on the rock by hearing and doing Jesus’ words, while the foolish man builds on sand, ignoring them. When the storms come—symbolic of life’s trials or final judgment—only the house on the rock stands firm.
