vs 1
1 John 2:1, 2
If someone sins we need to restore them in a gentle manner. This is a long process. This was David's experience after he had Uriah killed. 2 Samuel 12.
Gentleness is required. People often sin out of their brokenness.
Martin Luthor: "if any man be overtaken with a fault, do not aggravate his grief, do not scold him, do not condemn him, but lift him up and gently restore his faith. If you see a brother despondent over a sin he has committed, run up to him, reach out your hand to him, comfort him with the Gospel and embrace him like a mother."
v2
Assumptions:
- We all have burdens.
- We shouldn't carry them alone.
vs 3 - 5
Take an honest look at yourselves. Test your own actions and motives.
Burden - we need help to carry.
Nursing - Helping others to do what they can't do either physically or emotionally.
vs 7 - 8
vs 9 - 10
Our good works help others look towards Christ.
What are you sowing? Into the World? Or into the Spirit?
