“No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.”
No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light — the lamp on a stand is the same as Mark 4:21 — the kingdom's light is not meant to be hidden. The clay jar and the bed are both concealment devices; the stand is the disclosure device. The kingdom's presence cannot and should not be hidden.
