John 14:6–7: Knowing Jesus, Knowing the Father
Jesus answers a question about directions by pointing to himself. Knowing him is not a step toward knowing God; in this passage it is the way God is known.
Matthew 7:21–23: What Jesus Will Never Say
Jesus ends the Sermon on the Mount with a warning that surprises us: religious activity done in his name is not the same as being known by him. The passage turns our attention from the size of our ministry to whether we do the Father's will and rest in Christ.
