Gospel: Luke 8:16-18: A lamp I put on a lamp-stand so that people may see the light
when they come in.
Jesus Teaches Three Fundamental Principles of Life, 8:16-18
Jesus
gives three fundamental principles of life to all believers both layperson and
preacher.
1.
A lamp (life) is for the purpose of giving light (v.16)
a.
it is not covered, not hid
b.
it is made conspicuous
2.
Secrecy is impossible: All things shall be found out (v.17)
3.
Truth is very narrow (v.18)
a.
a person must watch how he/she hears
b.
the reason: truth shall be rewarded; but the seemingly true shall be stripped
away.
Thought: It
is great encouragement to the faithful and a realistic and understandable
threat to the lazy and close-minded.
