Luk 6:26 | MHM | STEP | v. 26 : Finally, Jesus said, Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets (Luke 6:26 ). If everyone praises you, it may mean you are not being honest about what is right and wrong. The false prophets in the past were popular because they told people what they wanted to hear, not what they needed to hear. Jesus’ followers should care more about pleasing God than about being popular with people.
