Galatians Week 15

In Galatians 6:1-5, Paul gives two commands. The first is to “bear one another’s burdens.” The second command is the near opposite: everyone must “bear one’s own load”. So which is it? Do we share our burdens or do we go it alone? Paul is getting at a deeper wisdom that recognizes the solution is both/and not either/or. Today our goal is to locate and begin to live out that which we are intended to carry alone and that which we are to bear with one another.
