Matthew 7:21-23 freaks me out

Have you read this passage lately? Scary. Jesus drops this bomb and doesn't really even explain it. Just says, "Listen when judgement comes some of you are going to think you are in... and your not!" You will say to me, "but we did all kinds of work and drove out demons and taught in your name," but my answer will be, "sorry, get out!". That is some scary teaching from Jesus. I think the part of it that is the most disconcerting is the fact that Jesus never gives the thing to avoid so that this doesn't happen to you. So we are left to assume what might be wrong with someone like this. Maybe it was that their heart wasn't in the right place... that's my guess so far.

That is what I am going to be chewing on for the rest of the day... love to get your thoughts on the passage.
