Mt 7:24 - Jesus is like a wise man who built his house on a rock

Dieser Satz heißt:

Jesus ist wie ein weiser Mann, der sein Haus auf einen Felsen baute.

Dieser Satz steht aber nicht in der Hl. Schrift, was macht er also hier im Thread?

So wie ich die Liste oben verstehe, sind die Sätze dahinter Interpretationen, nicht die Schriftstellen selbst (zumindest stellenweise).
Diese Interpretation stützt sich darauf, daß die Worte von Mt 7,24 auf Christus zu beziehen sind, vgl. auch

Er sagt nicht: Ich halte ihn für einen weisen Mann, sondern "Er gleicht dem weisen Mann". Er, der gleicht, ist der Mensch. Wem gleicht er? Christus. Christus ist nämlich der weise Mann, der sein Haus, die Kirche, auf Felsen baute, das heißt auf die Festigkeit des Glaubens. Der törichte Mann aber ist der Teufel, der sein Haus, die Gesamtheit der Gottlosen, auf Sand, das heißt die Unbeständigkeit des Unglaubens oder auf fleischlich gesinnte Menschen , baute. Man nennt sie Sand wegen ihrer Unfruchtbarkeit, und weil sie keinen Zusammenhalt haben, sondern durch verschiedene Ansichten gespalten, und unzählbar sind. […] Wie die Kirche, von Christus erbaut, nicht zerstört werden kann, so kann einen Christen, der sich auf Christus gegründet hat, kein Unglück entwurzeln - wie auch der Apostel sagt: "Wer kann uns scheiden von der Liebe Christi" (Röm 8, 35). Dem Teufel aber ist ähnlich, wer die Worte Christi hört und nicht danach handelt. Denn Worten, die gehört, aber nicht getan werden, fehlt der Zusammenhang, in den sie gehören - wie Sandkörner nicht aneinander haften. […] Wie aber das Haus des Teufels zerstört worden ist, so werden alle zusammenbrechen, die auf Sand gebaut haben. "Der Schaden ist sehr groß", wenn er das Fundament des Glaubens betrifft; denn wenn jemand Unzucht getrieben oder gemordet hat, kann er Buße tun und sich wieder erheben, wie einst David. (Pseudo-Chrysostomus)
