儿童解释

Imagine you're at a birthday party, but when the door closes, you find out the host doesn't remember who you are because you never played with them or did any of the fun activities together. That's like what Jesus is saying here—He won’t recognize those who don't follow Him.

历史背景

This verse is part of the Gospel of Matthew, written by a disciple of Jesus in the first century AD. The audience was likely early Christians and Jews, with teachings reflecting Jewish cultural practices and beliefs about salvation and judgment.

Consider someone who goes to church every Sunday but never helps others or follows Jesus' commands. If they act this way, Jesus might say He doesn’t know them either. This can apply to anyone who claims faith but shows no actions that match their words.
