Yeah, the video missed the point of why Jesus said to get away from Him. As the greater context shows. It was not because they prayed to Him as God the Son, but because they were hypocrites. It is not just saying Lord, or doing great or mighty works supposedly in His name (even miracles can be faked) but the ones who actually does the will of the Father. And then, verse 24 says to obey His (Jesus’s) words because He speaks with authority. He puts His words on par with the will of the Father, making His teaching equal. It is not falsely attributing deity to Jesus that brings His judgment on “that day” but knowing His teachings and not doing them (v 26). Obeying Jesus as the very Word of God is our safe haven in the coming storm. The original video missed it entirely. And, this renews my prayer for mercy from God as I can be guilty of this very thing. Thank God I have a mediator between the Judge and me, the God-man Christ Jesus.
