Whosoever comes to me, and hears my sayings, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like:
All Commentaries on Luke 6:47 Go To Luke 6
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
In a certain place in the Gospel, the Lord says that the wise hearer of his word ought to be like a man who, wishing to build, digs rather deeply until he comes to bedrock. There without anxiety he establishes what he builds against the onrush of a flood, so that when it comes, rather it may be pushed back by the solidity of the building than that house collapse by the impact. Let us consider the Scripture of God as being a field where we want to build something. Let us not be lazy or content with the surface. Let us dig more deeply until we come to rock: “Now the rock was Christ.”
