A Lamp on a Stand
Jesus is telling us that He is the light of the world and destined to be revealed. The more we appropriate truth now, the more we will receive in the future and if we do not respond to what little truth we may know already, we will not even profit from that.

A Lamp on a stand
Jesus is giving example of a lamp. The candle, the design and use of which is purposed to give light to men. Here the Gospel, which is the candle of the Lord, He had lighted up in the evening of the Jewish world, in the land of Judea; it was not His will that it should be always, and altogether, and from all men, covered with parables, and dark sayings, without any explanation of them; but that the light of it should be communicated, especially to them His; disciples, who were to be the lights of the world, and which were to shine openly before men, for their good, and the glory of His heavenly Father. This parable meant that we are the disciples and we have to shine for Jesus.

Love is the lamp of the world, and its light should never being hidden under our selfish nature. We should be generous with the light that God has given us. The more light we share the more we receive.

It means that God wishes that all the world should be as He has planned it- pure, spiritual, and compassionate. Every man, woman, brother and sister, aunt and uncle, grandmother and grandfather should work together to reach a perfect harmony!!!!!! Amen

Mark`s Biography of Jesus - A Lamp on a Stand
do not measure each others` life, possessions, ideas, mannerisms by your own, as those measures will be used to measure you. If your partner doesn`t see what you see or do what you do, that doesn`t mean you should measure them in your eyes. The only measure to live by is that of the Lord.!!! Amen

A Lamp on a Stand
Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? For sure it is put on a stand, don;`t hide your salvation let the whole world know about it don`t hide shout it out if you hide it might just stay and turn to rust and die away always give light to the rest of the world encouage others that are save to always stay above and not below, people will not know what they are to know if you stay below and most important you have to let your light shine for Jesus, if you hide your salvation what difference did it make getting save in the first place, so be proud for be a child of God and shine for Him.

Hello dear friends, To me this parable means that Jesus was the light of the world and he was shinning for the whole world and there`s no way he could have been able to show this light if he just set his back and kept quite like putting the light under the bed. So he wanted the world to know and recieve his light.And here his telling the disciples to never hide their salvation, this is really important to us to speak it out to the world that we are saved and children of the light of truth and by so doing we are shinning to whole world.

A Lamp on a Stand

He said to them, "Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Isn't it put on a stand? For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light. If any man has ears to hear, let him hear."
He said to them, "Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you who hear. For whoever has, to him will more be given, and he who doesn't have, even that which he has will be taken away from him."

Mark 4:21-25
