Our Individual Burden Often not the Heaviest
W. K. Marshall. Galatians 6:2 Bear you one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. An old fable tells us that Jupiter, finding that each man thought his lot the hardest, caused all men to be brought together for a mutual exchange of burdens. Promptly they came together, hoping that the exchange would lighten the burdens of life. Each man proceeded to display his sorrow. One had a concealed ulcer; another a sightless eye; another a besetting sin; another an intolerable debt; another a fearful recollection; another an awful apprehension; and when all the burdens were exposed to view, and each man bidden to make his own selection, every man preferred his own. (W. K. Marshall.) Parallel Verses KJV: Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. WEB: Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
