Our
Messiah's Parables
Lamp (Lighted Candle)
| Matthew 5:14 -
16 |
|
14
"You are light for the world. A town built on a
hill cannot be hidden.
15
Likewise, when people light a lamp, they don't cover
it with a bowl but put it on a lamp stand,
so that it shines for everyone in the house.
16
In the same way, let your light shine before people,
so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in
heaven.

| Mark 4:21 - 25 |
| 21
He said to them, "A lamp isn't brought in to be
put under a bowl or under the bed, is it? Wouldn't you put it on a lamp
stand?
22
Indeed, nothing is hidden, except to be disclosed;
and nothing is covered up, except to come out into the open.
23
Those who have ears to hear with, let them
hear!"
24
He also said to them, "Pay attention to what
you are hearing! The measure with which you measure out will be used to
measure to you -- and more besides!
25
For anyone who has something will be given more; but
from anyone who has nothing, even what he does have will be taken away." |

| Luke 8:16 - 18 |
| 16
"No one who has lit a lamp covers it with a
bowl or puts it under a bed; no, he puts it on a stand; so that those
coming in may see the light.
17
For nothing is hidden that will not be disclosed,
nothing is covered up that will not be known and come out into the
open.
18
Pay attention, then, to how you hear! For anyone who
has something will be given more; but from anyone who has nothing, even
what he seems to have will be taken away." |
