Sermon on the Mount, Subdivision J

Section 42 
THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT
(A Mountain Plateau not far from Capernaum) 
Subdivision J 
THE TWO WAYS AND THE FALSE PROPHETS 
MATT. 7:13-23
LUKE 6:43-45

 Lit., leadeth away, from death, or, perhaps, from the broad road. Note that the gate is not at the end, but at the beginning of the road. -VWS

Subdivision K 
CONCLUSION AND APPLICATION: TWO BUILDERS
MATT. 7:24-29
LUKE 6:46-49 

 "Jesus here limits the tragedy to a single house. "A single soul is a great ruin in the eyes of God" --------Godet" -Fourfold Gospel

1. True religion is likened to a man’s own house. Every one’s real life is his own home.
2. There are a few persons who are fond of looking at foundations, and questioning whether they rest on the right place; others make the far more vital mistake of not searching into them enough.
3. Foundations are found, after much search, in deep places; certain floating ideas about religion are not enough to build a life upon-such as “He is a kind God, and will not punish.”
4. The Spirit of God shows a man the Rock. (J. Vaughan, M. A.)
