Focal Scripture:
Scripture:
Object Lesson: (Two Bananas)
Note: Just before the lesson begins carefully mash and bruise on of the bananas.
They key is for both bananas to look virtually the same on the outside.
“Show the two bananas, noting that they look the same on the outside.
They should also taste about the same.
Open the good banana and show it to the students.
Then open the bruised banana and show it.
It should be badly bruised on the inside even though it looks good on the outside.
Read :
Explain that most people do a pretty good job of looking as though everything is ok in their lives, but the reality is that many of those people are hurting on the inside.
Remind the students that as Christians we are called to carry each other’s burdens.
What does it mean to carry each other’s burdens?
Bible Study:
So let’s take a moment and break this short passage down.
Ya’ll have given me some great examples but let’s take a look at how Paul teaches us in this passage to carry one another’s burdens.
2. TOWARD THE CHRISTIAN WHO IS BURDENED (6:2–5)
6:2.
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).
6:3–4.
Something must be laid aside if a believer is to be a burden-bearer and that is conceit, an attitude that breeds intolerance of error in others and causes one to think he is above failure.
The remedy for self-conceit is found in verse 4—everyone is told to test (dokimazetō; cf. 1 Peter 1:7) his own actions.
This means that rather than comparing himself with others he should step back and take an objective look at himself and his accomplishments.
Then he can take pride in himself over what God has done in and through his life (cf.
Rom.
12:3).
The Greek word kauchēma, rendered “pride,” means personal exultation, not sinful pride.
We are to lend a helping hand with the load (both physical and spiritual) This passage is focused on the spiritual.
Temptations - Spiritual failure?
How can these things become burdens?
Two ways we can help with the lifting is through prayer and through encouragement.
What are some examples of how this might look in our lives?
What does Paul teach that we must keep in check that can stand in our way of carrying each other’s burdens?
(Conceit - Seeing ourselves as superior to others)
Closing Thoughts:
How can we identify when someone is hurting?
Who do you need to come along side and help with their load?
