Philippians 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

Jesus made no reputation of Himself. He didn’t care what people thought of Him and He wasn’t trying to fit in. Jesus only did what The Father told Him to do. Before we make a Spirit lead decision, we often consider what other people will think of our decision. We don’t to appear, foolish, too Holy, un-cool, or unpopular.

Some people don’t allow themselves to worship properly because that don’t to lose their coolness or popularity.
Some people don’t claim their relationship with God in public because society told them it was politically incorrect.
Some people don’t even pray over their food because they don’t want to appear too holy.
Some people don’t obey God entirely because it appears foolish.
It appeared foolish when Jesus asked the people to roll the stone away from Lazarus’ tomb after he was dead for 4 days but, Jesus made no reputation of Himself and He simply obeyed God.

If Jesus could make no reputation of Himself on this earth and we are to be followers of Christ, then we should do the same. Don’t concern yourself with what other people think; obey God.
