“I do not accept praise from men,
The motive of Jesus is never to please men, but to please the Father. He has no desire to receive any praise or esteem from them.
What about you? Do you let thoughts of how others might view you or your actions to determine how you do act? (Prov 29:25) Our motivation for our actions and words should always be to please God and not man.
Pr 29:25 Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe.
