21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
( Matthew 7:21-23)"

Jesus came to earth to do God's will.
They killed him for blasphemy....namely that he said he was God's son.

16So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews persecuted him. 17Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working." 18For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
19Jesus gave them this answer: "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 20For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, to your amazement he will show him even greater things than these. 21For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. 22Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 23that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.
24"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. 25I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself. 27And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.
~John 5 (NIV)

yes and that is why he said that when the "holy spirit" comes "he" will lead the world into the truth about God. Jesus always gave credit to the living God for everything he accomplished. Jesus is one with God because of his righteousness and faith but he is not the Omnipotent the creator of the universe. If Jesus wanted to be worshiped as God he would have said the greatest commandment is to love me with all of your heart mind and soul. You will be able to identify the anti-Christ because he will say he is God. an obvious blasphemy.

this is not about Jesus's Lordship, but simply about those who claim they know God, call him Lord, yet are hypocrites and dont do his will, and have a personal relationship.
these are my thoughts on this question. Thanks for asking
There is sufficient scripture that says Jesus is Lord and God

Of course, He knew this, that's why he prophised this those who know in their heads, but not in their hearts. It's belief in the flesh..and not the work at the cross.

So all those Greek people were calling me God?! Wow! And I thought that "kurios" meant "mister." or "sir." Boy are they going to be in trouble!

No but he understood quite well that people would deny that he is God.
