In the context of the Bible, it often refers to individuals or groups who are burdened with sin, guilt, or the weight of the law. The imagery of being "loaden" is used to convey the spiritual and moral burdens that people carry, often highlighting the need for divine intervention and relief.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>The concept of being "loaden" is illustrated in several passages throughout the Bible, where the burdens of sin and the law are depicted as heavy loads that individuals cannot bear on their own. One of the most notable references is found in the words of Jesus Christ, who offers rest to those who are burdened:<br><br>· <b><a href="/matthew/11-28.htm">Matthew 11:28-30</a> :</b> "Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."<br><br>In this passage, Jesus invites those who are "loaden" with the burdens of life to come to Him for rest and relief. The imagery of the yoke suggests a shared burden, where Jesus offers to carry the weight alongside the believer, providing a sense of peace and ease.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b> <br>From a theological perspective, the concept of being "loaden" underscores the human condition of sinfulness and the inability to achieve righteousness through one's own efforts. The burdens of sin and the law are too heavy for individuals to bear alone, necessitating the need for a Savior. Jesus Christ is presented as the one who can lift these burdens, offering forgiveness and grace to those who come to Him in faith.<br><br>The Apostle Paul also addresses the issue of burdens in his epistles, emphasizing the freedom that comes through Christ:<br><br>· <b><a href="/galatians/5.htm">Galatians 5:1</a> :</b> "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."<br><br>Here, Paul warns against returning to the "yoke of slavery," which refers to the legalistic adherence to the law as a means of justification. Instead, believers are encouraged to embrace the freedom found in Christ, who has fulfilled the law on their behalf.<br><br><b>Practical Application:</b> <br>The imagery of being "loaden" serves as a reminder for believers to cast their burdens upon the Lord, trusting in His strength and provision. It encourages a life of faith and reliance on God's grace rather than self-effort. Christians are called to support one another in bearing burdens, as seen in:<br><br>· <b><a href="/galatians/6-2.htm">Galatians 6:2</a> :</b> "Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."<br><br>This call to mutual support reflects the communal aspect of the Christian faith, where believers are to help each other in times of need, reflecting the love and compassion of Christ.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>While the term "loaden" may not be frequently used in modern translations, its underlying message remains relevant. It highlights the human need for divine assistance in overcoming the burdens of life and the transformative power of Christ's love and grace.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/binning/the_works_of_the_rev_hugh_binning/sermon_xiii_thou_shall_keep.htm"><span class="l">"Thou Shall Keep Him in Perfect Peace, Whose Mind is Stayed on <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> We will not preach any such doctrine, as to discharge any to come to Christ, till<br> they be wearied and <b>loaden</b>; for, when a man conceiveth that he wanteth that <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../binning/the works of the rev hugh binning/sermon xiii thou shall keep.htm</font><p><a href="/library/bayly/the_practice_of_piety/a_prayer_for_a_sick.htm"><span class="l">A Prayer for a Sick Man, when He is Told that He is not a Man for <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> For I am void of all righteousness that might merit thy mercy, and <b>loaden</b> with<br> all iniquities that most justly deserve thy heaviest wrath. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//christianbookshelf.org/bayly/the practice of piety/a prayer for a sick.htm</font><p><a href="/library/josephus/the_antiquities_of_the_jews/chapter_9_concerning_the_insurrection.htm"><span class="l">Concerning the Insurrection of Absalom against David and <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> he had sent to take care of the possessions which had been given him, as the son<br> of Jonathan, the son of Saul,] with a couple of asses, <b>loaden</b> with provisions <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../josephus/the antiquities of the jews/chapter 9 concerning the insurrection.htm</font><p><a href="/library/bunyan/grace_abounding_to_the_chief_of_sinners/grace_abounding_to_the_chief.htm"><span class="l">Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners Or, a Brief Relation of <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> And at that time I felt what guilt was, though never before, that I can remember;<br> but then I was, for the present, greatly <b>loaden</b> therewith, and so went home <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../bunyan/grace abounding to the chief of sinners/grace abounding to the chief.htm</font><p><a href="/library/luckock/studies_in_the_book_of_common_prayer/appendix_ii_the_order_of.htm"><span class="l">Appendix ii.
