The parable of the lamp under a bushel
The parable of the lamp under a basket teaches Jesus' disciples to let their spiritual light shine by living exemplary lives. This means living in a way that strengthens the divine light and encourages others to do likewise, drawing inspiration from the Gospels.
Luke 8.16-18 (King James Version) :No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -
