A parable is a genre of simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson. In Matthew 7: 24-27, Jesus uses a parable. Summarize the story in three sentences or less. Then state the spiritual lesson of the parable.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Parable Contents

Jesus says to the crowds that anyone who hears his words and doesn't obey them, is like the foolish person who built his house on sand. When nature unleashed rains, winds, floods, then the house fell. (Paraphrased from the Good News Bible).

Jesus is trying to convince his listeners to hear his words. He speaks not in arguments, but with authority. See verse 25. Hear and Obey and don't build your spiritual foundation on something that will erode away with the first sign of bad weather.
