Our Savior Who Daily Bears Our Burdens 

(Ps 68:19; Mt 1:21) 



God is righteous and merciful(1Ch 16:41; Is 42:21). 

Because He is righteous He seeks the price of sin, and 

Because He is merciful He bears the burden of sin. 



Faith is believing this and laying one's burden on Him, and 

The life of this faith is daily laying one's burdens on Him and experiencing salvation. 



Though those who have never had burdens 

Do not know the weight of burdens, 

Those who bear heavy burdens are truly grateful 

When someone else bears them. 



Deceived by the devil, Adam sinned and 

When asked by God, he imputed his sin to Eve and 

Eve to the serpent(Ge 3:13). 

God did not, however, give a chance to the serpent to impute. 

Instead, He only declared his punishment(Ge 3:14) for 

It is not angles God helps but Adam(He 2:16) by 

Bearing his burdens. 



Following God's instruction, 

Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt and walked in the desert 

But he resented the fact that God put the burden of all the people on him(Nu 11:11). 

However, through the Law God revealed about 

The Lamb that will bear their burdens(Lev 16:22), 

Carry all their sins and go into the desert. 



As such, the sanctuary reminded them about 

God's righteousness and mercy. 



Jesus said, "Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days(Jn 2:19), because 

Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body 

He would carry the burdens of all men, for 

He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world(Is 53:4-7; Jn 1:29), 

The incarnate Word who He came in flesh to bear the burdens of men(Is 7:4; Mt 1:21; Jn 1:1, Jn 1:14). 



As He died, Jesus said, "It is finished, declaring that He: 

1. Laid down His life and fulfilled the Father's will(Jn 10:18); 

2. Condemned the origin of sin; and 

3. Shed His blood and He Himself bore the burdens of men in His body(1Pe 2:24) - sins, infirmities(Mt 8:17), poverty(2Co 8:9), shame(Eze 16:25; He 12:2), and sorrow(Is 53:4). 

He rose and ascended to the heavenly mercyseat. 



The Holy Spirit comes to those who have been saved from sin and death 

Through the blood of Jesus, and 

He lets them praise the God of salvation who daily bears their burdens(Ps 68:19). 



The man of the Spirit knows that 

The Savior bore the burden of his sins in His body, and 

Thus, daily lays his burden of his soul, flesh, family and even livelihood 

On the shoulders of Jesus(Is 9:6) for 

He longs for the eternal rest with Him(Mt 11:28-30). 



O Lord, 

What is man that You are mindful of him(Ps 8:4)? 

For we are foolish 

We have been struggling to bear our burdens on our own. 

We welcome Your coming in flesh! 

Until the last moment we are in our flesh 

Carry our burdens, Lord! Amen.
