From ‘This is the house that Jack built’ (Nursery Rhyme-Public Domain)

"This is the house that Jack built.

This is the malt that lay in the house that Jack built.

This is the rat that ate the malt

That lay in the house that Jack built.

This is the cat

That killed the rat that ate the malt

That lay in the house that Jack built.

This is the dog that worried the cat

That killed the rat that ate the malt

That lay in the house that Jack built"….

Jack built that house.

My husband and I recently toured the Tupelo house where Elvis Presley was born. We learned that the house was built by Elvis’ father, grandfather and uncle. Incidentally, my father, grandfather and uncle built the house I grew up in. Ours was a Sears & Roebuck prefab home (but it still had to be constructed).

King Solomon supervised construction of God’s house.

“in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the Lord (1 Kings 6:1b NASB).”

We’re house builders.

“Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great (Luke 6:47-49 NASB).
