Brothers, if a man is overtaken in a fault, you the spiritual ones restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering yourself, lest you also be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the Law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something,
being nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one prove his own work, and then he alone will have a boast in himself, and not in another. For each one will bear his own load.
KEY VERSE
“Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfil the Law of Christ” V.2
MESSAGE
It was clearly stated that bearing one another’s burden is the fulfillment of the law of Christ. Jesus said He has not come for the healthy but the sick; however in the world today, the rich only care for the rich while the poor are left to suffer more hardship.
The character is also reflective in Christendom where awards and accolades are often centered to the rich.
It is not just a money issue, but rather that those who are supposedly strong in faith do not consider helping the weak a responsibility, instead they gossip about their
misconducts. While the Pharisees condemned sinners, Jesus was able to pull them close with hands of love and they became viable tools for God. We should no longer operate in the law of sin and death,
but that of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus which corrects and doesn’t condemn. Therefore, don’t do to others what you won’t like them to do to you and don’t judge others in the way God has not judged you. It is by the Lord’s mercy that we have not been consumed, hence,
we must show mercy and love to others. This is the golden rule; the law of Christ.
Prayer Point: Lord Jesus, let your love dominate my heart towards all and sundry that I may fulfill your law by your grace. Amen

He said to them, But who do you say I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
KEY VERSE
“And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:16
MESSAGE
Since creation, we discover that behind every act of God is His Purpose. No act of God came by chance. He is purpose moved.
The first component of the will of God is divine purpose.
When you discover your purpose, it transforms you. When you discover the purpose of a person you are living with, it will transform your relationship with that person.
