Do You Bring In A Lamp?

Mark 4:20-25 - But those that were sown on the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.” And he said to them, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed, and not on a stand? For nothing is hidden except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret except to come to light. If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you. For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”

John 8:12 - Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Luke 12:2 - Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.

Matthew 25:29 - For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

Application:

·         Do I reflect the light that comes from Jesus? Am I a light to the world?
·         Any hypocrisy I hide behind will be made known
·         The more truth I seek, the more I will receive. If I do not respond to the truth I know, I will not gain from it.
·         Am I doing more than playing it safe? Is my service producing results?
