Title

Founded Upon a Rock

Subject

Jesus Christ

Description

This painting appears to be a Gothic cathedral built on rocks in the middle of the ocean. The parable of the wise and foolish builders in Matthew 7:24-27 is probably the inspiration for this work. In this passage, Jesus promises that those who obey his words will be like the person who built his house on the solid foundation of rock. In contrast to the house built on sand, this house survived great storms.

Creator

Oertel, Johannes Adam Simon, 1823-1909
