Sometimes when people pass away, one of the flattering things that people say about the deceased is, 'You can't find anyone who can say a bad thing about (insert name here)'
But it doesn't seem like Jesus would be impressed with such a eulogy. He says,
'Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.' (Luke 6:26)
Christians ought to strive not to be liked by everyone, but to be faithful to Jesus. If we do that, some people will love us. And others will have plenty of bad to say about us.
