[Your Response]

6. Jonathan Edwards once was preaching on how important it was to give to the poor. Someone later objected, “I can’t afford to give to the poor.” Edwards responded with an application of Galatians 6:2.

In many cases, we may, by the rules of the gospel, be obliged to give to others, when we cannot do it without suffering ourselves … If our neighbor’s difficulties and necessities be much greater than our own, and we see that he is not like to be otherwise relieved, we should be willing to suffer with him, and to take part of his burden on ourselves; else how is that rule of bearing one another’s burdens fulfilled? If we are never obliged to relieve others’ burdens, but when we can do it without burdening ourselves, then how do we bear our neighbor’s burdens, when we bear no burden at all?4
