The Lesson of the Lamp

(Mark 4:21–25)

16 No one lights a lamp [and] covers it with a jar or puts [it] under a bed. Instead, he sets [it] on a stand, so those who enter can see the light. 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, [and] nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18 Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given [more], [but] whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
