The Lamp Under a Bushel

Mattityahu 5:14–16

What Yeshua is saying

A lamp is lit to be set on a stand, not hidden under a basket — so let your light shine before others.

The explanation

Yeshua does not say 'make your light' — He says let it shine. The light is His; you carry it. Hiding it serves no one. Let people see good works and glorify the Father in heaven — not you.
