In Radical Disciple, John Stott says God designed us to be
burdens to each other. If so, then Paul’s admonition to bear each others
burdens (Galatians 6:2) not only involves helping each other with the burdens
we have to carry due to our sin; it also requires assisting each other in
carrying the loads we have that result from our finitude. In that case, it
seems that the best way we can prepare for eternity is to become as adept at
the art of burden-bearing as we can - since this skill will be central in the
eternal Kingdom community.
