“Is a lamp brought in to be put under a tub or under a bed?”
Mark 4: 21-25
The truth cannot remain hidden, or suppressed, or destroyed. We might refuse to face the truth or try to suppress it, or destroy it, but the truth will always prevail because it is indestructible.
That is why God wants us to know the truth and to stake our lives on it. God’s grace (his indwelling presence and power at work in us) and his word of truth enable us to hear, believe, and obey him without fear or reservation.
Just as natural light prevails over the darkness around us and enable us to see clearly, so the light of Christ shines in the hearts of all who hear and believe his word. God wants to fill us with his Holy Spirit so that we may shine brightly with the radiance of his truth, love, and goodness.
Our call and mission, is to be light-bearers of Jesus Christ so that many others may hear and understand the truth of the Gospel and be set free from the blindness of sin, ignorance, and deception. (Don Schwager)
