Faith Venture

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ “

The constant stream of people I see in the news and people I meet otherwise who proclaim “Christian Values” astound me.  I wonder…does Jesus know them? To my observation (decidedly less valid than that of Jesus), doing the will of God seems to be somewhat lacking.

But then I reverse the lens of the camera kind of like camera mode on my iPhone to selfie mode. I wonder how I look to Jesus. Does he know me?
