Fulfilling the Law of Christ

Galatians 6:1-5; NKJV
 

1 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. 

2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 

3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 

4 But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 

5 For each one shall bear his own load.

Jesus fulfilled the law of Moses (see Matthew 5:17-20).  We are to fulfill the law of Christ by bearing one another's burdens.  What a blessed thought that both laws can be fulfilled!  One by Him; one by us!
