Hebrews 10:19-25, Ps.24, Mark 4:21-25

The Lampstand

In our modern secular western society Christianity is increasingly regarded with indifference, ridicule or even hostility. Christians provide generously and heroically for so many of society’s needs but downplay or even suppress the role that their Christian faith plays in providing the inspiration, motivation and energy for their selfless service. Thus, although the “lamp” is on the “lampstand” nobody knows what the light is, or its source. Wherever it’s possible or appropriate we should let it be known that Christ is the light that shines through our good works.
