Re:Verse passage – Mark 4:21-25, 33-34 (day six)
A lamp exists to shine—that’s its purpose. In the same way, the Kingdom of God is meant to radiate and reveal. This is the heart of what Jesus teaches here: the Kingdom is never hidden. It’s always shining, always revealing, always making itself known.
This truth challenges us in two key ways.
First, if we fail to see the Kingdom, the problem isn’t with God but with us . From the beginning of creation, God has made his Kingdom visible—in the world he crafted, in the Scriptures he gave, and most fully in Jesus, the Word made flesh. He has held nothing back.
Second, we cannot compartmentalize God’s Kingdom. Its light is inseparable from its nature. We can’t dim it, hide it, or turn it off without denying what the Kingdom truly is. If we belong to the Kingdom, its light must shine through us. Let it shine—boldly, faithfully, and without hesitation.
