And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? Mark 4:21
A candle is a simple tool that when used correctly is extremely effective. Candles provide light in darkness and the glow from one candle is sufficient to light up an entire room. The flame of a candle removes the darkness so one can see clearly.
But as Jesus Christ pointed out, if a candle is misused it has no effect. When placed under a bushel or a bed a candle is unable to shine inside a room. It has no power. The light is hidden. Darkness continues to confound and confuse. A light is needed.
What Jesus Christ taught them was to be shared with others. like a candle their life was to shine forth God’s truths. Likewise all believers should learn from God’s Word and share that understanding with others.
If Jesus Christ is going to be known by those around you, they must hear about Him in your words and see His work in your life.
Let your light shine.
