Definition and Meaning:
The term "laded" is an archaic English word that means to load or burden. In the context of the Bible, it often refers to the act of placing a burden or load upon someone or something. This term is used to describe both physical and metaphorical burdens.

Biblical References:
The word "laded" appears in several passages throughout the Bible, often in the context of burdens or responsibilities. One notable instance is found in the New Testament, where Jesus criticizes the religious leaders of His time for placing heavy burdens on the people.

· Luke 11:46 : "Woe to you as well, experts in the law! You weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to lighten their load."

In this passage, Jesus condemns the scribes and Pharisees for imposing strict and burdensome interpretations of the law on the people, while they themselves do not assist in bearing these burdens. This criticism highlights the hypocrisy and lack of compassion among the religious leaders, contrasting with the teachings of Jesus, who offers rest and relief to those who are burdened.

Theological Significance:
The concept of being "laded" with burdens is significant in understanding the nature of the law and grace in the Christian faith. The law, as interpreted by the religious leaders, became a heavy burden that was impossible for the people to bear. In contrast, Jesus offers a message of grace and rest, inviting those who are weary and burdened to come to Him for relief.

· Matthew 11:28-30 : "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."

This passage emphasizes the compassionate nature of Christ, who provides a way for believers to find rest from the heavy burdens of legalism and sin. The "yoke" of Jesus is described as easy and light, symbolizing the freedom and peace found in a relationship with Him.

Practical Application:
The concept of being "laded" with burdens serves as a reminder for Christians to examine their own lives and religious practices. Believers are encouraged to avoid placing unnecessary burdens on themselves or others, and instead, to embrace the grace and freedom offered through Christ. It also calls for a spirit of compassion and assistance, helping others to bear their burdens in a spirit of love and community.

· Galatians 6:2 : "Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."

This verse underscores the importance of mutual support and love within the Christian community, reflecting the heart of Christ's teachings. By helping to carry each other's burdens, believers fulfill the law of Christ, which is rooted in love and service.1. (imp.) of Lade.
