Lesson 12

Text: Galatians 6:1-5

  1. Bearing Burdens,

    1. The Burden of Restoration,

      1. Who is responsible for restoration,

        I Timothy 3:6 “Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.”

        Titus 2:1-5 “But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: 2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands,”

      2. How are they to instruct?

        Proverbs 15:1 “A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. ”

        Colossians 4:5&6 “Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man”

    2. One Another Burdens,

      1. Bear their burden,

      2. Why we are compelled to carry one another burdens,

      3. Extra loads can come in many different forms:

    3. One’s Own Burden,

      1. freight,

        Revelation 22:3 “And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:”

Points for Home:

  • It is the duty of Christians to pass on to others what we have learned form God, and His word.

    • We all have areas of maturity, and we should desire to help others grow.

    • But to do it in the spirit of meekness, and the honest desire to see others in a proper relationship with God.

  • We all have our own burdens to carry, and we should be faithful in carrying them.

    • At the same time, we should be sensitive to others and help when we see they are struggling.

  • We should not view our labors as a bad thing. We should count it a blessing to know God had placed His trust in us concerning the task He has assigned for us to do.
