Overview & Insights
"Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and acts on them...I will show you what such a person is like." (Luke 6:47)
Jesus closes the Sermon on the Plain with a string of short sayings on blind guides, specks and logs, good and bad fruit, and the two builders, all pressing the same point that a life must actually be shaped by his words. This closes out the teaching block that began at Luke 6:17.
