Will I be judged if I reject Jesus?

He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him: the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. John 12:48

Again, Jesus was very matter-of-fact when He said this.  If it were not true, then it would be very bold to say such a thing.  Since it is true, it is very compassionate to say such a thing.
