The problem that some people don’t get is that love doesn’t mean telling people what they want to hear, or sugar coating spiritual truths.
Jesus was love personified and He was direct enough.
Interestingly, while Jesus and the Pharisees tossed back and forth the accusations of being followers of Satan, it wasn’t just a battle of words.
When Jesus said it, it was because it was true. The Pharisees claimed it because they didn’t like the challenge of their authority. They kept trying to put themselves above God’s word and appealed to tradition to back themselves up.
Imagine that.

Very insightful. That's exactly what they were doing.
Imagine that.
Image that, indeed. Satan is still using the same tactic against God's WORD being THE FINAL AUTHORITY today. Nothing new under the sun.
NOTHING will change the Truth that GOD'S WORD always was and will always be THE FINAL AUTHORITY. 'Man' and his/her puffed up anti-Christ spirit WILL bow to HIM/HIS WORD before their eternal destruction.
Thank You, God, for YOUR WORD and the 'narrow path' of ONLY TRUTH which IT leads us on.
