Calling Good

~  John 5:10-18   

10and so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat." 11But he replied, "The man who made me well said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.' "  12So they asked him, "Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?"  13The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.  14Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, "See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you." 15The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. 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.

 Why do people call good “bad”?  What suggestions would you have for a person who is misunderstood or criticized unjustly?
