Depart from Me (Dazed and Confused: Matthew 7)
March 31, 2021
Summary
"I never knew you; depart from me," are words in Matthew 7 many of us fear we will hear from Jesus. Should we live in fear that we will finally be rejected by Christ for not doing enough? Was that his intention? Or did he mean something else? Members' Podcast Description: Jon and Justin talk about the importance of law/gospel distinction in the Sermon the Mount, as well as how to love and care for those with a tender conscience.

Hi, this is John, and today on Theocast, we are looking at the phrase, Depart from me, I never knew you.
Many of you have struggled with this and asked us: what does this mean?
Why did Jesus say this?
Justin and I are going to look at Matthew chapter 5 through 7 and then specifically looking at verses 21 and following to help you understand what did Jesus really mean when he said, depart from me, I never knew
you.
Stay tuned.

Welcome to Theocast, Encouraging Worry Pilgrims to Rest in Christ: Conversations about the Christian Life from a Reformed Perspective.
Your hosts today are Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina, and I'm John Moffat, pastor of Grace Reform Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee, just south of Nashville, Tennessee.
Justin, it is good to be with you, my friend.
This will be our second podcast today.
We've got to spend some time with some of our friends over on Assurance of Pardon.
Enjoyed that conversation.
But what people really want to know, JP, what are you giving away today?
Got to give the people what they want.
Amen.
We are giving away this week because we like to be generous here at Theocast and also because we like to get good resources into the hands of our members and people that follow us on social media.
We are giving away a copy of our primer on Assurance that is entitled Safe in Christ.
