Lay Aside Every Weight

“LAY ASIDE EVERY WEIGHT.”—As applied to Christians, it means that they should remove all which would obstruct progress in the Christian course. It is not the same thing in all persons. In one, it may be pride; in another, vanity; in another, worldliness; in another, a violent and ungovernable temper; in another, a heavy laden, insensible heart; in another, some improper and unholy attachment. Some persons would make much more progress if they would disencumber themselves of the heavy weight of gold which they are endeavoring to carry with them. Even a feather or a ring may become such a weight that they never will make much progress toward the prize.—Barnes.
