Bible Question: Bear one another's burdens and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.--Galatians 6:2. In what ways can we bear one another's burdens? How does it tie in with the second part of the verse, "and thereby fulfill the law of Christ"? What is the law of Christ? --Hank |
Bible Answer: Bearing each other's burdens could be a reference to any number of things. Essentially, each person's burdens are what that particular person finds hard to do himself. For example, a drunkard's obvious burden is one of resisting the lure of alcohol, so providing him activities that do not involve alcohol helps alleviate the temptation. A mother's burdens could be the daily tasks that are beginning to overwhelm her, so watching her children for a few hours would be a relief. A pastor's burdens sometimes extend to the ministering to his flock, so a qualified church member volunteering to teach a parenting class is a release from the many pulls on his time. A child's burden could be obedience, so genuine praise when the child is obedient encourages the child to continue in his actions. Burdens are anything we find a struggle to maintain, therefore we ask the Lord to help us bear up under them. As far as I can tell, He usually answers by sending someone to somehow assist us in our lives. |
