Human nature wants the credit. It wants to be lifted up. It wants the attention. We compete with others sometimes for attention, disliking them simply because they seem to be loved more than we. Are we that broken?
I don't think Jesus wanted the attention. He just kept doing what he was supposed to do, and he pointed people to God.
I actually think that people are repelled when you demand their attention. When you demand the credit. When you make something all about you. And conversely, it seems to me that people are drawn to those who are willing to lift up others and allow them to be in the limelight. It seems like such a Jesus thing to do.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Amen. It's not our show, but God's, if we choose to study under Him. Blessed are the humble, for they shall know what life's really about.
