There are people out there today who know of Jesus but they don't necessarily know Jesus.
Matthew 16:13-16
You see what happened, Simon Peter had gone from a head knowledge, this is what people are saying to a heart knowledge, this is who you are to me.

Matthew 4:19-22
Are you walking so close to his teaching that his dust has covered you?

There were some there that day who in some nebulous way thought they were following Jesus because he was there and they were there.
Being A Christ Follower Will Cost You Something
Luke 14:27-28
