Luke 6:47-49 Whoever comes to me, and hears my sayings, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like:… Yon lighthouse tower, that stands among the tumbling waves, seems to have nothing but them to rest on; yet there stately and stable it stands, beautiful in the calm, and calm in the wintry tempest, guiding the sailor on to his desired haven, past the rolling reef, through the gloom of the darkest night, and the waters of the stormiest sea. Blessed tower that with its light, piercing the gloom, shines and rises on many an eye as a star of hope. Why is it stable? You see nothing but the waves, but beneath the waves, down below the rolling, foaming, tumbling billows, its foundation is the solid rock. And what that tower is to the house on yon sand.bank, which the last storm threw up, and the next shall sweep back into the sea, Christ's righteousness is to mine — Christ's works to my best ones. (T. Guthrie, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:WEB: Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like. |
