The Lord tells us a parable about two kinds of houses. On the surface, both of these houses look identical. The only difference between the two is something we cannot see with our physical eyes. It lies within the foundation.
One house is built upon sand. The other is built upon rock, or a solid foundation.
If I cannot see the foundation, how can I tell the difference? Only when the houses undergo a storm or natural calamity. It is symbolic of trials and testing.
But it is better to undergo these practice tests and trials to determine its endurance. Otherwise when the real thing happens, it may be too late.
Christ prepares the disciples for the final judgement at the second coming. If I practice now and in am spiritually prepared, I will be ready for the parousia.
