Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2, ESV
We find rest and peace in Christ, and we offer the same to each other by helping each other through this life.
For the yoke of his burden, and the staff for his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as on the day of Midian.
Isaiah 9:4, ESV
At Advent, we look back at why Jesus had to come, that He came, and then that He will come again.
There are many times in this world that we burden and oppress each other.
We either attempt to force our own will on others, add our will (rules) to God’s will, or have the will of others forced on us.
We dare to put ourselves in God’s place or blame Him for the sin of others.
We willingly choose our own path, carrying the burden of our sin, thinking we are good in our own right.
The ways of this world drag us down, and we complain and try to fix things ourselves … or accept that we are nothing and hold onto this view.
And many times we lash out at each other, seeking comfort, even if through burdening others.
And if we blame God, we also say His ways must be more burdensome, not wanting to acknowledge that we have burdened ourselves.
We may still struggle with the problems of this world, but Jesus has promised that we will have troubles. He has given us His yoke of loving others.
May we seek to lead our world to theOne who ends sin’s oppression.
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2, ESV
Life is difficult, so God gave us the example: sacrifice for each other, loving each other through help, work, and comfort.
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Matthew 11:28-29, ESV
Our own work and worries can feel burdensome, but doing the work of Christ’s Kingdom may be hard work but it is eternally rewarding and leads to spiritual rest.
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Matthew 11:28-29, ESV
This world is full of concerns, obligations, and worries, but our God is sovereign and mighty.

The greatest Commandment is to love God, and to love others. We show our love for God when we help each other in all areas of life.
Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.
Proverbs 12:25, ESV
Daily life can be hard, and a realization of our sin can weigh heavy on the heart and mind.
An encouraging word can change a bad day to a good day, and the Gospel can free us from shame and fear.
Cast your burden on the Lord , and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.
Psalm 55:22, ESV
God does not promise no trouble in life. “Cast your burden” implies problems. Rather, He uses our difficulties and our reliance on Him to shine His light to this hurting world.
