As I read this parable I couldn't help but mourn/fear the Great Fall of our great country of Canada/North America as its builders reject the Stone ...
Psalm 118:22-
The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;
Isaiah 28:16
So this is what the Lord GOD says:
So this is what the Lord GOD says:
"See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested
stone, a precious cornerstone,
a sure foundation; the one who believes
will never be shaken.
Matt.7:24-27
Therefore
whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them,
I will liken
him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
And
the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew,
and beat
upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
And
every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not,
shall
be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
And
the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat
upon that house;
and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
