“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. 25 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.”

As eighth graders we pick a theme that we will have for our eighth grade year. As a christian we accept jesus into our heart. “Built on the Rock”, means a lot to me as both an 8th grader at ZCS and as a Christian in the world.

As an eighth grader this verse mean a lot to me because of the new addition. The new addition was literally built on the rocks. When they were still digging into the ground for our school we decided as a community that we would write our favorite bible verses and, or an attribute of God. Matthew 7:24-25 says that if we build our house on the rock that we will not fall and we will stand tall as long as we put God’s words into practice. So as long as we put God’s words into practice our school will not fall.

As a christian I think that if we have a strong faith, acceptance in our hearts and put God’s words into practice then we will not fall. Matthew 7:26-27 26 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. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” If we do not put God’s words into practice then we will not stand and we will fall with a great crash. We must have a strong foundation in God.  

“Built on the Rock”, means a lot to me as both an 8th grader at ZCS and as a Christian in the world. We must have a strong faith in God so that we do not fall. If we do not heed God’s words and put them into action then we are like the foolish man who built his house in the sand and we will come tumbling down with a crash.
