"I Never Knew You!"
“ I never knew you! Depart from me! ” These are the most frightening words anyone could ever hear on the lips of Jesus, and they are central to the conclusion of his ‘ Sermon on the Mount .’ His discourse was never a program for reforming or governing civil society. Instead, it instructs his disciples how they must live in the present evil age as faithful citizens and representatives of his Kingdom and message. There is no bypassing the Cross if you wish to enter his domain.
