Verse of the Day (October 23, 2020) #BMSeminary – A serving Christian lends a helping hand with heavy loads (barē, cf. comments on v. 5). Though the principle would apply to all burdens the context has special reference to the heavy and oppressive weight of temptation and spiritual failure. While the “spiritual” do the work of restoring, all believers are to become involved by prayer and encouragement. This, wrote Paul, will fulfill (anaplērōsete) the law of Christ, that is, the principle of love (cf. 5:14; John 13:34). [Bible Knowledge Commentary]
