Mark 4:21-23 – A Lamp Under a Basket

Mark 4:21

1. Jesus uses a parable to state the obvious:
   1. You don’t light a candle in a dark room and then hide it.
   1. You don’t receive the message of Jesus and then hide it.
2. Anyone who has heard and received the good news of Jesus has a responsibility to share it with others.
   1. A congregation must never be satisfied with just teaching about Jesus inside the church, but must also preach the good news outside the church.
