Jesus spoke about many truths, truths that have societal relevance and importance. One of the most important truths that Jesus spoke about, bordered around building relevance into your living experience. To sell that truth, Jesus used the analogy of architectural constructs; two builders, one who built his house on the rock and another who built his house on sand. This is a timeless conversation and building anything takes time-investments. It, therefore, is bewildering to see someone spend that energy investing in something that won't last.

Of course, we know that Jesus was not particularly speaking about housing and buildings. Rather, He was pointing to having the right foundation for living life here on earth. Jesus was pointing to the need for humans to spend their time building things that have eternal relevance and value. In other words, Jesus was addressing the temptation that people often face to build the essence of their living on earth on things that have no eternal value. 

You can't imagine how problematic it would be to spend your life building something that crashes the moment pressure is put on it. Jesus addressed this truth so that people will build their lives on the Rock- His eternal truth that is timeless and does not shake.

So sandy or rocky? We'd see.
