Elizabeth Lutheran Church (Caldwell)

So, when the master of the house in this story says, I do not know you, he's not imparting information. He's imparting relationship. He's saying, this is the relationship. I don't know you. We can be so familiar with all kinds of religious things, but that's not intimacy with God. We are known by God because we walk with him. We are known by God because we are numbered among his people, serving him and following him and learning and growing in our faith and love. Don't presume that your proximity or your felt proximity to God is intimacy.
