Burdens You Bear

Text: Mark 15:21

There are some burdens that we can share with others, but there are also some that we alone can carry. The first is a burden to heavy for one to carry – an oppressive weight, which one is expected to carry for a long distance! The second burden is meaning (like) a soldiers knapsack, light enough for every person to carry on their own! Light, like the one referred to by Christ in Matt. 11:30 – “My yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Bearing one’s load means answering to God Himself for what one has done! There are some burdens that we cab share with others, but there are also some that we alone can carry.
