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!
