Summary: "Control your generosity when it comes to a chronic borrower." is good advice to follow. Something else too wouldn’t hurt if others would listen to it & it concerns eternity. Let’s examine it together!

Introduction

I’ve heard many say, "It’s the harshest words ever spoken by Jesus Himself." Maybe, but true none the less!

In the closing remarks of His sermon on the Mount, Jesus pointedly said, "One day, some of you standing here will hear the very words, I never knew YOU come from God’s own mouth."

Intresting is, what many will say on that day. The scene is Heaven’s Court Room. Standing before God will be the ungodly and note these three things:

their address (21-22a)

their appeal (22b)

their argument (22c)

Next is the seven most disturbing words from God.

Main Division

I. Words Of Denial (23a)

II. Words of Departure (23b)

III. Words Of Discernment (23c)

Conclusion: In the end what will you hear!
