This morning, Galatians 6:2 made my eyes widen with bewilderment. I’ve read this passage countless times, and it never troubled me, until, well… this very moment.
“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2)
How do you bear someone else’s burden when, truthfully, if you could pay someone to carry your own, you would?
Is it just me, or does it feel like the further we go in life, the harder it becomes to truly live out biblical virtues and principles? I’m being painfully honest, it’s hard!
I think about the families in Texas who lost all their loved ones just last week. I think about the crimes tearing through Haiti … burning children alive, raping women, shedding innocent blood. I think about the conflicts raging in Iran and Israel.
These burdens feel too heavy for me to carry, especially when I’m still carrying my own
When I see people so malicious, so consumed by hatred… wicked beyond redemption, I ask myself: In my own home, could I really be “hospitable to a stranger”? (Hebrews 13:2) Could I risk exposing my family to the recklessness of others in the name of doing good?
This isn’t me telling you to stop obeying what the Word of God says, far from it. It’s just an opening thought, a sobering reminder that:
THIS. IS. THE. END. TIMES.
Be ready!
