Sometimes it’s easy to trick yourself into thinking you have a good relationship with God when in actuality you’re far away. Many times we believe that activities are an adequate substitution for relationship. Jesus warned in Matthew that many will tell Him all of the things they did on His behalf. Pastor Mark, referencing this passage, reminds us that Jesus is looking for a relationship with us. Nothing less will be good enough. While working in and for the church is good, these activities must flow out of a solid association with Jesus. He’s not our buddy; He is our Lord and Savior.
