Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.           Galatians 6:2
 

Do you remember the TV show 'Mission: Impossible'? It was on for years in the 1960'-70's. I totally loved that show! The opening was always cool - a recorded message about some dangerous secret mission, which gave them an option to 'accept'. Then, seconds later, the message self-destructed (usually dissolving, burning up or exploding!). To this day, I love reading spy novels.

We also have a Christian mission: to follow Jesus, doing the things he did.  One of the big ones is quoted in Galatians, above.  Sometimes bearing others' burdens is - well, a burden.  But we do it because Christ bore OUR burdens, and always will. 

Are we up to the task? Will we accept this 'mission' as a response to God's gift of grace in Christ?

Blessings for the journey ... Pr. Rita
