Galatians 6:2–Bearing One Another's Burdens

Galatians 6:2–"Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."

It is one of the definitive marks of Christian fellowship that we would bear one another's burdens.  In many ways, this is one of the most natural extensions of our Christianity; however, at other times, this can seem like an immensely difficult undertaking, particularly when people don't often or easily share their burdens with others.  Coincidentally, this is precisely why we should be willing to share with our brethren the struggles we may be facing.  Only if we are willing to reveal our burdens will those we entrust them to be able to bear them with us.  It is, in the end, a matter of give and take, but also of honesty and fellowship.  In this way we can be sure to fulfill the law of Christ.
