Read Matthew 5:14-16. People have lamps to give light. Covering up a lamp would be silly! What is our “light,” and what would it look like to cover it up? Why might we want to hide our lights?
Read Mark 4:21-22. This passage uses the same picture—light in a dark room—to teach a different lesson. Here we learn about listening. The truth that Jesus teaches is like a light shining into our hearts and into the world around us. We see clearly what we didn’t before. Why might we want to cover up the light of the truth?
