Luke 6:48b (NLT)
48b [It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock.] When the floodwaters rise and break against the house, it stands firm because it is well built.
DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
Unspecified by the Bible narrative; daytime.
LIGHTING NOTES:
The sun (high in the sky on the left (West)) illuminates this scene, casting vague shadows to the right and below figures and objects.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
A family: father (in green), mother (in purple), daughter (in brown) and son (in yellow) robes.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
This scene shows the same family from Scene 01 (previous picture) standing on the flat roof of their finished house. The parents have hands raised in thankfulness to the Lord God for keeping them safe from the flood waters. Having dug away sand and having built their family home on solid rock, now they reap the benefits: safety and security in times of trouble.
In this part of his parable Jesus is saying that the house stands because it is built on strong, firm foundations, referring to the person who hears Jesus’ teaching, but then puts it into action; abiding in it and operating co-operatively with Jesus’ words.
