“And He was saying to them, “A lamp is not brought to be put under a basket, is it, or under a bed? Is it not brought to be put on the lampstand? ”
Mark 4:21 (NASB)
Christ has saved us so that we might glorify Him and He has called us to make Him known among the nations. God has not called us to be “secret” believers but rather to be salt and light to a lost and dying world (Mt. 5:13-14). We are to take the gospel of Christ and let it shine through our words and our actions in such a way that people will see Christ and glorify Him. The Christian life is not an undercover mission but rather a public demonstration of the power of God in weak and broken vessels.
Questions for application…
What are some ways that we can “hide” our faith ?
Why is it vital to publicly identify with Christ ?
