THE ROCK

 

“……whoso heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, who built his house upon a rock – And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded upon a rock.

“And every one that heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them not shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand – And the rain descended and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”

(3 Nephi 14:24-27)

I am Messiah, the King of Zion, The Rock of Heaven (Moses 7:53)

Then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed The Rock of our Salvation (Deut 32:15)

Our fathers drank of that spiritual rock and that rock was Christ (1 Corinthians 10:1-4)

If ye are built upon my rock, earth and hell cannot prevail (D&C 6:34)

I am the good shepherd and the stone of Israel. He that buildeth upon this rock shall never fall (D&C 50:44)

“And now my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall”

(Helaman 5:12)

There is none like Thee,

The Rock of my Salvation,

My Saviour and My king;

My refuge from billowing storms,

From the devil’s mighty winds

And violent waves of the sea.
