Readings: Heb 10: 19-25; Mk 4: 21-25
This gospel passage calls me to be a light and a lamp, sharing God’s kingdom with others. Lamps help people see in the dark, guiding them to avoid stumbling. In Jewish tradition, “light” symbolizes the inner beauty, truth, and goodness of God. God’s grace not only dispels darkness in our lives but also fills us with spiritual light, joy, and peace.
Jesus used the image of a lamp to show how his disciples should live in his truth and love. Just as natural light reveals the world around us, the light of Christ illuminates the hearts of believers, allowing us to perceive God’s heavenly kingdom. Our mission is to bear Christ’s light so others can see the truth of the gospel and be freed from the blindness of sin.
Jesus reminds us that nothing can remain hidden. It is easy to hide our sins and bad habits from others and ourselves, but nothing escapes God’s sight. Living in his light and seeking his truth brings freedom and joy. Those who listen to God and follow his voice will be blessed with more.
