Simple as This

Jesus says in Matthew 7:

"Anyone who listens to my teaching and obeys me is wise...but anyone who listens to my teachings and ignores it is foolish."

It really is as simple as this - Jesus speaks wisdom and so to agree with wisdom (obey) is wise and to ignore wisdom is foolish. The results are most clearly seen when difficulties descend upon our lives. The wise have a foundation to weather the storms, the foolish do not. The problem is that foolishness is often easier in the sunny times than is being wise. Being lazy in practice is easier than working hard, but when gametime comes, hard work pays off and laziness does not.
