Content with what we do
As the writer of Ecclesiastes reminds us, without God everything we do is ultimately fruitless; meaningless. But with God, we can be content in our work; contentment frees us from the "if only"s; we are where we are to do Gods sovereign will. We should not value ourselves by what we do, because God has already valued us - he paid for us with His Son. Therefore, it's not for others to judge our worth, nor should we judge the worth of others by their job, character or any other attribute. We all have different gifts, roles or functions that we must faithfully use for the good of the whole body of Christ. God has made us as he has, to paly a particular part. We can serve God in all things, and it is He who gives us strength (Col 3:22-24).

Gospelling One Another; Bearing Each Others Burdens
In our passage today, Paul confronts Peter for a sin that was truly destroying the truth of the gospel. His confrontation may seem harsh, but Paul’s concern is for Christ and the gospel over relationship and appearances. Note the issue in our passage is not just a sin, but the damage it was doing to the gospel, and to those around Peter.
