The Lamp-Stand

“Is a lamp brought in to be put under the bed? Surely to be put on lamp-stand?” (Mark 4: 21)

Is Jesus Christ forming me to put me under the bed? Surely not! I believe he is forming me to become a lamp. The place of the lamp is on the lamp-stand and not under the bed. At the appointed time, he will place me on a lamp-stand. This is my firm hope. “Let us keep firm in the hope we profess, because the One who made the promise is trustworthy.” (Hebrews 10: 23)
