Bear one another's burdens

Bear one another's burdens


"Bear one another's burdens—and so fulfill the law of Christ ." Galatians 6:2

The law of Christ —is the law of love. "A new commandment," said He to His disciples, "Love one another. As I have loved you—so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another." John 13:34-35

Love, manifesting itself in practical sympathy and in deeds of kindness—should characterize the followers of Christ. They are exhorted to look not only on their own things, but also on the things of others; to be pitiful and tender-hearted one towards another; to lighten each other's loads, to "bear one another's burdens—and so fulfill the law of Christ."

O Lord, give unto us more of the spirit of Christ, who, though He was rich, for our sakes became poor, that we, through His poverty, might be rich. Help us, as we have opportunity, to do good unto all men—but especially unto those who are of the household of faith. Oh that it may be manifest to the world that we are the disciples of the loving Savior—by our love one to another!
