Fulfill Law? Carry Burdens.

Hey, Y'all,

At first glance today's RST appears to have nothing to do with the last one, but upon further review (yep, too much football this weekend :-), I think it does...

"Carry each other's burdens,
and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."
Galatians 6:2

I like it even better in the Amplified Bible:
"Bear (endure, carry) one anothers' burdens and troublesome moral faults, and in this way fulfill and observe perfectly the law of Christ [the Messiah] and complete what is lacking [in your obedience to it]."

Wait; I most-completely fulfill the law of Christ not by focusing on dos and don'ts but rather by helping others carry their burdens?!? Hmmm...I'm going to think about that for a bit--how 'bout you?

You've been prayed for today...
