NOTHING SECRET
Luke 8:16-18
“No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the light. For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.”
Encouraging bonds
So often this passage is interpreted in one of two ways: we are supposed to put the light of Christ on display so that everyone can see it; and there is nothing in our lives that we can hide from God. Both. of them are in there. Another one that we might consider is that there is nothing in the Christian way of life that God will hide from us. He wants us to live full lives for Him. So many misguided people are looking for that special secret that God has only for them. What is hidden behind that door? What is the special handshake? God tore down the curtain in front of the holy of holies for a reason, so that through Christ we might see God. The closer to Him that we walk the more of God we see. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
