The Parable of the Lamp Stand

²¹ Then Jesus asked them, “Would anyone light a lamp and then put it under a basket or under a bed? Of course not! A lamp is placed on a stand, where its light will shine. ²² For everything that is hidden will eventually be brought into the open, and every secret will be brought to light. ²³ Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”

²⁴ Then he added, “Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given—and you will receive even more. ²⁵ To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.”

The Vision

The Story in the Art

• The Covered Lamp: The lamp in the lower left is blocked by an angular shade. This represents the failure of the command—a light that exists internally but is hidden by fear, false humility, or the desire to avoid confrontation.
• The Radiating Stand: The tall, central lamp is positioned high. The sharp, geometric rays represent the "good deeds" that are meant to be seen—not to draw attention to us, but to point to the Father.
• The Grid Structure: The framing lines represent "The House"—our workplace, family, and community. When we cover the light, we condemn this space to darkness.
• The Challenge: The design poses a direct question: Are you positioned to illuminate your house, or are you shielding your light from the very darkness it was created to overcome?
