Carry Each Other's Burdens

“In many cases, we may, by the rules of the gospel, be obliged to give to others when we cannot do it without suffering ourselves. .

“We should be willing to suffer with our neighbor and to take part of his burden on ourselves. Otherwise, how is that rule of ‘bearing one another’s burdens’ fulfilled?

“If we are never obliged to relieve others’ burdens except when we can do it without burdening ourselves, then how do we bear our neighbor’s burdens when we bear no burden at all?”

Jonathan Edwards
