07/16/21 Parables of Jesus #2 — Lamp Under a Basket (Mat.5:14-16; Mark 4:21-22; Luke 8:16-17; 11:33-36)

Matthew 5:14-16 (ESV) 14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”

A godly life gives convincing testimony of the saving power of God. That brings Him glory [The MacArthur Study Bible]. And 1 Peter 2:12 says “Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.”

As the children’s song says, “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine!” What about YOU?!
