We have often wondered,
Where were Peter and John and James that they did not see the
Master’s burden and run to proffer assistance? If disposed to envy
Simon his privilege of assisting the Master in the bearing of
the cross, let us reflect that many of the Lord’s brethren are daily
bearing symbolic crosses, and that it is our privilege to assist
them, and that the Lord agrees to reckon any service done to His
faithful followers as though it were rendered to His own person...
As the wooden cross was not our Lord’s heaviest burden, so, too, His
followers have crosses which the world sees not, but which the
“brethren” should understand. “Bear ye one another’s burdens and
thus fulfil the law of
Christ”. |
