Galatians 6: Burdens

Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. (verse 2)

For every man shall bear his own burden. (verse 5)

Take responsibility but help others with their burdens. The wise ones come to Jesus to trade.

Galatians 3: Clothed in Perfection

For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. (verse 27)

To put on Christ is a continual act.

Galatians 2: Crucified with Christ

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. (verse 20)

To be crucified with Christ is the beginning.

Hebrews 7: Perfection

If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? (verse 11)

If perfection can be achieved by the law through men bound by their own mortality, then grace through Christ will bring utter perfection to those who believe.

Hebrews 6: Anchor of the Soul

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil. (verse 19)

In the haze of this world hold on to the only hope that is Christ.

Acts 5: Worthy of His Name

And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. (verse 41)

To be counted as one who suffered for the sake of Christ is truly an honor.

Mark 10: Possessions

And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. (verse 22)

We may have many things, but Christ should be our only possession.

Mark 3: Closer to Christ

And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. (verse 32)

The multitude were inside with Jesus when His family was outside.

John 10: No Shortcuts

Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. (verse 24)

Even when doubts engulf them, they still find a reason to blame Christ for their unbelief. There are no other ways except to believe.

John 8: Pawn

They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. (verse 4)

Sometimes, your sin is only a tool used to get to Christ who is in you.
