Everyone follows a compass. Something—or someone—sets the direction of our lives. Paul reminds believers that strength in Christ brings responsibility: we are to bear with the weak, seek our neighbor’s good, and build one another up. Jesus is the true compass point. He did not please Himself but endured suffering in obedience to the Father and for the joy set before Him. Anchored in the love of the Father, Christ now welcomes us into that same relationship. From that secure love, we live for God’s glory and the good of others.
