This is from the parable Jesus used to explain living through Him and God, or "building your life on them." I had the idea and started to make it a "follow through" build, one I actually complete. It was made possible by the fact that I have a lot of tan bricks/plates, including a tan baseplate. I made the two men first, and when I made the houses the "wise man" became a missionary via a small hut. The foolish man has all his possessions being washed away, including his floor. The most challenging part was getting the river to actually appear like it's doing that. after I conquered that, it was smooth sailing. Oh, and sorry about the blurry pictures. That about wraps up this description, don't forget to rate and comment, not to mention enjoy!
About this creation

The foolish man, losing all of his possessions.


The wise man, in his hut.

The missionary's hut's inside. Notice the bread, wine, and rock-grass bed. 'Cause it's the little things with big symbolisms that count.


The wise/foolish men/missionary.

Nice job taking that parable and building it out of bricks! The water really appears to be rushing, so I think you certainly succeeded in that aspect. Nice work! :)

Idea for the MOC is great. Sand banks are cool and minifig selection too.

Great visualization of Matthew 7:24-29. I really like that the house on sand is partially standing. It gives it a very realistic quality.
