In this
context, burden refers to the fault in verse one, but it also applies to
other burdens. The Law of Christ
summarizes all of Jesus’ teachings which is Christianity.
Burden – baros denotes “a weight”
anything pressing on one’s physical or that makes a demand on one’s resources,
whether material, spiritual, or religious (Acts 15:28).
A weight
weighs heavy on our hearts when we are burdened.
There is
also a light burden: Christ burden is
light which is phortion.
Sacrifice:
(thusia) primarily denotes “the
act of offering”, then objective, “that which is offered. (of Christ , in His “sacrifice” on the cross)
Eph. 5:2, Heb. 9:23
-The body
(life) of the believer, presented to God as a living “sacrifice” Ro.12:1 ***
-of faith, Phil 2:17
-Of material assistance rendered to
servants of God, Phil 4:18
-Of praise Heb. 13:15
- of spiritual “sacrifices” in
general offered by believers as a holy priesthood, I Peter 2:5
- of doing good to others and
communicating with their needs, Heb. 13:16***
Redeem: exagorazo, a strengthen form of agorazo, “to buy” 1) denotes “to buy
out” especially of purchasing a slave with a view to his freedom. Metaphorically in Gal. 3:13; 4:5, of the
deliverance by Christ of Christian Jews from the Law and its curse.
To summarize Chapter 6 of Galatians:
The gospel applies to every area of our daily living. (Please
read Galatians 6 at home)
Today, we
are going to look at our responsibility of “Bearing One Another’s Burdens” as Christian Women and taking up our
cross.
One of the
main examples I’ll use in scripture is the life of Naomi and Ruth found in the
Book of Ruth, showing how Naomi bore Ruth’s burden and Ruth bore Naomi’s burden
and how they both took up their cross.
Your assignment for this week is to Read Galatians 6.
