Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Ga6.2 NKJV
The law of Christ is rather simple. “Love one another.” Now, actually doing this, instead of knowing that I am supposed to do this, is not always simple. Loving is not liking someone and thank goodness it isn’t, for this would make loving some people not only impossible but undesirable. The love of Christ is helping others toward a greater good. The popular song. “All you need is love,” fails to mention wisdom and if love is to truly benefit the one we are loving, then, love certainly needs wisdom. Consider, when is it best to carry my brothers burdens and when is it best to let them carry their own? All we need is love, except maybe, wisdom, and faith and hope and all the other virtues which render love effective and fruitful. 10/23/07 ts
