Sandcastles

If you’ve ever made a sandcastle on the beach, you know it doesn’t last very long. The tide comes in and destroys it in no time. Jesus used an analogy of a wise and foolish man in Matthew 7:24-27. He told us that the foolish man built his house on the sand, and when the storm came, it was completely washed away.

This fact helps to remind us of the fact that nothing in life will last. Ecclesiastes extensively develops this topic with the phrase, “vanity of vanities” almost 30 times. Because nothing will last, we need to build our lives around the teachings of Jesus.

If you refuse this good advice, you will be like building your life on a sandcastle -- it will soon be gone. Is your life focused on Christ? If you obey Him and be baptized, your sins will be washed away and you will be “in Christ” (Acts 22:16; Galatians 3:26-27). Please contact us if you would like to study further.
