"But made himself of no reputation....." Phil 2:7
In purchasing our salvation and obeying the Father, the man Christ Jesus did not regard what people thought of Him or whether they recognized His rightful place and position. He was not concerned with adulation or receiving credit. He did not permit reputation to rule His choices. He did not make the defense of His reputation the priority. He emptied Himself of all that He was, to take our place and become an offering for our sins! Following His example, we also cannot allow our reputation or concerns associated with it, to interfere with doing the will of God in our lives and fulfilling His purposes, plans and directives, regardless how difficult and in spite of what others may think or say of us.
