“Away From Me, You Evildoers!”

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

Matthew 7:21-27

Earthquakes are prevalent in the Pacific Rim region known as the “Ring of Fire.”

Hong Kong is the area where over ninety percent of the world’s earthquakes take place, and over eighty one percent of the worst earthquakes also take place there. Most of the buildings are built on foundations of granite. The foundation of buildings is especially important in earthquake prone sections of the world.

Jesus Christ told His followers that a stable foundation is critical in building lives.

The foundation of Jesus Christ is what will give us the stability our hearts and lives need now and into the future.

By allowing the Lord’s wisdom to guide us in our relationships, decisions, and priorities, we find that He provides the most trustworthy foundation any life could ever be built upon.

Jesus is the best foundation upon which to build a solid life.
