Mark 4:21 KJV
And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
A candle is not to be hidden but on a candlestick. Light is only useful when it is set out and up.
Our church parking lot has light set twenty feet in the air. The higher they are, the more ground they will light. So is the light the Christ places in those who are His. Our Christian light needs to shine. We need to give ourselves devotedly to let the world see the light.
And if that light be in us it should not be so difficult. All that must happen is that we set the light out.
The candlestick, according to Revelation chapter one is the church. So when the candle, which is the believer, is placed in the church and then sets to work for God in that church, the light becomes compounded and more brilliant.
