“Christ’s Helping Laws” by Neville Buchanan


When last did you need help, but you could not find it? We may not always find the assistance we need, but we always can be a beacon of help for those seeking it.

Christ’s 1st helping LAW OF SHARING AND CARING (Gal.6:1-5) says we should be spiritual, gentle, and humble. [1 Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill THE LAW OF CHRIST. Gal.6:1-2]. This morning I have received several requests for help. Some were just routine, but others were from souls who were suffering.

Christ’s 2nd helping LAW OF RECEIVING AND GIVING (Gal.6:6) is that we should keep sharing all good things with those we receive help from. This is what helps perpetuate Christ’s helping laws.

Christ’s 3rd helping LAW OF SOWING AND REAPING (Gal.6:7-10) is that we will reap what we sow. We are to help everyone, especially those of the household of faith.

How good it is to ascend our Summit “to sing praises to our God” because “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Psalm 147:1-3). This week I heard someone say, “I really need my church family. I feel so good when I am there”. That same person came forward for prayers last night. Friend, God needs you to be spiritual, gentle, and humble for those crying out for help today.
