Built On Rock



In The Gospel Accroding To Matthew Jesus talks of rock a couple times, the first is a teaching that a man who listens to the words of Jesus and does them is like a wise man who built his house on rock and that when the storms came his house stood firm, unlike the foolish man who built on sand and his house was washed away. May I be the man who builds on rock.
The second time is when Jesus asks who his disciples say he is, and Simon speaks up and says Jesus is the Messiah the Son of the living God. Jesus renames Simon to be Peter (which means rock) and says that upon this rock He will build his Church and that the powers of hell will not conquer it.
It seems to me that things are Stronger when they are Built on Rock.
