The Law of Christ

At Bible Study this morning we discussed Galatians 6:2 which says, "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." Quite interesting that if want to fulfill the law of Christ we are encouraged to carry each other's burdens. And then in Romans 13:8 the Word says, "Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law."

Here lies the mystery. To fulfill the law of Christ, we are called to love. It is truly a call that is much higher than a list of rules and following a bunch of do's and don't's. So, I encourage you today. Are you fulfilling the law of Christ by loving?

And, don't worry, this burden won't crush you like this little car.

  1. If I recall correctly, that photo is related to a man and woman who were going to build a shed in the woods where they could go to smoke crack. What a burden indeed!
