Galatians 6:2 Bear you one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. — Consider — I. THE SOUL'S INDIVIDUALITY (ver. 5). 1. This is one of the first facts of which our opening intelligence informs us. 2. We carry it with us everywhere. 3. It becomes more marked, and the consciousness of it more painful, through the action of sin and suffering. 4. It is taught by our life work. 5. It is brought home most emphatically in the hour of death. II. INDIVIDUALITY TENDS TO DESPAIR. 1. Life itself becomes bearing a burden when man has to bear it alone. 2. So with the sense of sin. 3. So with our life work. III. THE SOUL'S WELL-BEING IS SECURED BY MINISTERING TO THE BROTHERHOOD. (1) Not being ministered unto, (2) but in ministering; which is (a) to lighten our own burdens and (b) to lighten others, so that they may fulfil the law of Christ. (S. Pearson, M. A.)
