HUMAN LIKE JESUS: INCARNATIONAL REPUTATION A good reputation takes a long time to build. Jesus’ reputation with his church is that of a bridegroom who would do anything for his bride.What does your reputation look like? Is it the same at home, at work, and at church? In order to build a reputation, you must be in a caring relationship with others. How amazing would it be if your reputation with this community would be that of someone who loves others? Jesus said that “everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.”
