‘Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed, and not on a stand?’ Mk 4:21
Too many Christians today are hidden from sight, reluctant to be identified as Christians. Such a Christian is like a brand-new light that never leaves the carton it came in. If a lamp doesn't help people see, it isn't worth much. Does our life show other people how to find Jesus and how to live for him and in Him? If not, ask what "baskets" have hidden your light? Complacency, indifference, embarrassment, stubbornness of heart, or disobedience will keep the light you’ve been given from shining.
What do you need to do to let your light shine? The light of Jesus' truth is revealed to you, not hidden (vs 24-25). While you may not be able to see or to use all that truth right now, as you put God's teachings into practice you will understand and see more of the truth revealed, allowing others to see more clearly as well.
The truth is clear, but is it seen clearly in us by others – be a source of light in a dark world… HSAY
