Much of this chapter sounds like various parts of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7). One verse of it includes Jesus’ question, “Why do you call me lord?” It is followed by, “And do not the things that I say?” Here are some points for meditating:
¨ What does it mean to truly call Jesus “Lord”?
¨ Why would anyone call Him “Lord” if they were not going to obey Him?
¨ Why did they call Him “Lord,” since they followed it up by not obeying?
¨ What does it mean NOW—TO ME—to call Him Lord?
¨ How does this mesh with Matthew 7:21-23?
