Luke 6:48
Arabic Bible AVD 1999 (الكتاب المقدس)
يُشْبِهُ إِنْسَانًا بَنَى بَيْتًا، وَحَفَرَ وَعَمَّقَ وَوَضَعَ ٱلْأَسَاسَ عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرِ. فَلَمَّا حَدَثَ سَيْلٌ صَدَمَ ٱلنَّهْرُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْبَيْتَ، فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يُزَعْزِعَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ مُؤَسَّسًا عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرِ.

Explained for Children
Imagine you're building a sandcastle at the beach. If you make it right where the waves hit, it'll wash away quickly! But if you dig deep and put your castle on hard ground far from the water, it'll stay strong even when big waves come. That's what Jesus is saying about following God’s rules: they help us be strong like that sandcastle!
Historical Background
This verse comes from the Gospel of Luke, written by a doctor named Luke around AD 80-100 for a man named Theophilus. It was meant to explain Christianity to someone who might not know much about it and is set in the context of Jesus' teachings during his ministry.
Living It Out Today
