This sermon challenges listeners to examine whether they have a genuine personal relationship with Jesus Christ or merely intellectual knowledge about Him. Drawing from Jesus's question to His disciples in Matthew 16:13-16, "Who do you say that I am?", the message emphasizes that knowing about Jesus is insufficient—one must know Him personally as Lord and Savior. Using Mary Magdalene as a primary example, the sermon illustrates how encountering Christ transforms lives through His mercy, grace, and love. The preacher warns that many will claim to know Jesus, but He will say "I never knew you" to those without genuine faith. The sermon concludes with a clear gospel presentation, emphasizing salvation by faith alone in Christ's finished work on the cross, not through human effort or works.
