<p>6:2 <i>Carry one another's burdens</i>- I have suggested on :1 that the particular fault or fall which is in view is the return to Jewish legalism. The demands of such legalism are called &quot;burdens&quot; in Mt. 23:4; Lk. 11:46 and particularly in this context Acts 15:28 &quot;no greater burden&quot;. Those who were spiritual, led of the Spirit, were not themselves burdened; but they were to enter into the feelings of those who had burdened themselves with unnecessary burdens. This was the spirit of Paul when he wrote that to those under the law, he made himself as if under the law: &quot;To them that are under the law, I became as one under the law (though I am not under the law), that I might gain those that are under the law&quot; (1 Cor. 9:20). We wonder whether in fact Paul has in view Christians who had returned &quot;under the law&quot;, for he has used that phrase about the Galatians in 5:18. It's too easy to shrug at the mental torments some get themselves into, thinking 'Well that's their problem'. It is, but we are to walk those burdened miles with them in order to restore them.</p><p><i>And so fulfil the law of Christ- </i>If we understand &lsquo;the law of Christ&rsquo; in the same sense as &lsquo;the law of Moses&rsquo; then we have missed the crucial message that is in Christ; we have merely exchanged one legal code for another. His is a spirit of grace which specifically, legally demands nothing and yet by the same token demands our all. And so in all our living and thinking, we must constantly be asking &lsquo;What would Jesus do? Is this the way of God&rsquo;s Spirit? Is this how the law of love teaches me to act? &rsquo;. To live the life of the Spirit, to construct in daily living an ambience of spiritual life, is therefore a binding law. Living according to the spirit / mind / example of Jesus will mean that we naturally find the answers to some of the practical dilemmas which may arise in our lives.</p>
