Bearing One Another's Burdens

    Why would we take time to bear one another burdens? Why do we become vulnerable in times of need so we can seek others to help us? Because bearing one another's burdens is about restoration. Re-setting and being put back together. When Paul writes in this week's scripture lesson (Gal 6:1-10) about bearing one another's burdens he talks about the law of Christ. The law of Christ doesn't weigh us down with obligations or more burdens. It doesn't seek to destroy us. It seeks to restore us. And that is how we are bear one another as the church. In times of need we are to seek out such restoration, and when we see a brother or sister struggling it should be our natural response to help restore them to fullness of life. What struggles do you have around the idea of bearing one another's burdens?
