Paul
highlights a key concept in these chapters – the way that we treat each other,
and how that treatment ought to be informed by the treatment we receive from
Christ. If Christ has born all
suffering, and He has, then any time we cause suffering to anyone we by very
definition cause suffering to Christ.
And, in contrast, when we alleviate suffering of any kind (or bring joy
to anyone), we alleviate in some small way the suffering of Christ.
What an
awesome responsibility we bear in our ordinary, daily interactions with those
around us! I know, for myself, I don’t
properly recognize or carry this responsibility the way that I should.
