Lamps…

 

Lamps…

Several years ago, we toured a replica of the tabernacle…one of my takeaways was the candle stand inside, burning with its light in  the Holy Place outside of the Most Holy…the whole room was glowing from the light…

Reading through the gospels, Jesus speaks of lamps…Their light is not to be hidden…in our lives we are not to hide our light…our reflection of Jesus…to bring glory, not to ourselves, but to our Father in heaven…

In Psalms, He speaks of the Word being our lamp…he lights our lamp, He lightens the darkness for us…Jesus, in the gospels, tells us to consider carefully how we listen…nothing is hidden…

Thank YOU…

 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Matt.5.15-16

 “No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. 

 He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand? 

For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. 

If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.” 

“Consider carefully what you hear,” he continued. “With the measure you use, it will be measured to you—and even more. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.”

Mark.4.21-25

 “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. 

Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.”

Luke.8.16-18

 You, Lord, keep my lamp burning;my God turns my darkness into light.NIV
