BEAR
ONE ANOTHER'S BURDENS
Bear
one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of
Christ. Galations 6:2 [NKJV]
A
"One Anothering" Thought
To
Bear means:
- to carry
- to support
- to endure
In other words, Paul says that we
believers should help one another with our burdens.
We should
help a brother or sister in Christ carry their burden to the
Lord.
We should support each other with prayer and
encouragement during a time of burden.
We should endure the
hardships burdens might cause and walk together to strengthen each
other.
By doing this Paul says we will fulfill the law of Christ which is the command Jesus gave us to love one another. (John 13:34)
ONE-ANOTHERING IN ACTION:
Do you have a
burden you are attempting to carry alone, or do you know a
brother or sister in Christ that does?
If you are carrying a
burden, tell God about it and give it to Him to carry.
Then,ask
Him to send a brother or sister in Christ into your life to help you endure
and to support you in your time of need so you can be strengthened
and not attempt to take the burden back upon yourself.
If you
have no burden but do know someone who does, pray about how you
might help them bear their burden and so practice the one-anothering that
Christ desires and Paul taught.
Share in each other's
troubles and problems, and in this way obey the law of
Christ.
Galatians 6:2 [NLT]
