Parable of the Lamp on the Stand
Jesus shares the parable of the lamp on a stand in the synoptic gospels of Matthew (5:14-15), Mark (4:21-22), and Luke (8:16; 11:33). He uses the imagery of a lamp placed on a stand to convey spiritual truths about discipleship, the spread of the Gospel, and the importance of shining God's light in the world.
Jesus emphasizes that a lamp is not meant to be hidden but placed on a stand to illuminate its surroundings. In the same way, disciples of Christ are called to let their light shine before others so that they may see the good deeds and glorify God.
Through this parable, Jesus underscores the responsibility of believers to live lives that reflect God's truth and love, serving as beacons of hope and guidance in a darkened world.
What obstacles or temptations might cause believers to hide their light, and how can we overcome them?
About this Plan
Jesus was a master storyteller. He knew that the timeless principles He was trying to articulate would be best remembered through storytelling. He often spoke through parables to (1) communicate a more profound truth, (2) make His teachings more accessible to those who were ready to hear them, and (3) confound those who refused to listen. Parables were shaped to convey a single thought, so don't get lost in the details wondering what each part means. Absorb the story and allow Jesus to communicate His truth to your heart.
