So, I have a question/statement and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
One of the things I hear a lot of Christians and people mention is that they don't want to hear from Jesus:
"Depart from me, I never knew you."
I've always found this interesting so I started doing some research. In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, he calls Lazarus by name but never says the name of the rich man. During the night he is betrayed he refers to Judas by names like, "one of the twelve, son of destruction, etc." but doesn't seem to use his name. I can't find anywhere in Scripture where Jesus personally uses the name of someone who isn't saved. I could be wrong of course? I found it fascinating that his very words seem to line up with, "I never knew you."
