Luke 8:17

"“No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light."

Key Reflection

This verse emphasizes the importance of sharing the light of Christ openly and visibly. Just as a lamp is meant to illuminate and be seen by all who enter, believers are called to live their faith boldly so that it brings light and understanding to others.
