Jesus had declared that the religious leaders who were attacking him were doing so because they did not have God's words in their hearts. Here he adds that he does not desire their approval because they also do not have the love of God in their hearts. How much more whole might our lives be if we were to seek God's love rather than seeking the "likes" of others?
