Re:Verse passage – Mark 4:21-25, 33-34 (day two) And He was saying to them, “A lamp is not brought to be put under a basket, is it, or under a bed? Is it not brought to be put on the lampstand? v. 21
One of the central themes in the Advent season is light coming in to a dark world. This is the picture of Jesus who would come to conquer sin and death. That same light that was the savior lives within us. So much of the world will encourage us to dim that light. You may hear people telling you to ‘tone it down’. Light is meant to shine, to reveal, to brighten others with its radiance. Our goal should be to give the light every opportunity to do its job. Not to hinder or hide the wonder of Christ. You don’t need to ask permission to shine, you need to rely on Jesus to light up your heart and your life. People will notice. Some will be uncomfortable, and that says more about them than it does about you. Let your light shine.
