Help Carry The Burden
Help Carry The Burden
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2

In one scene Jackie was playing in his hometown stadium in Brooklyn. During the game he committed an error and the crowd began to shout derogatory remarks and racial slurs. Jackie Robinson stood at first base with his head down. He was thoroughly humiliated.
