Luke 11:33-36 No man, when he has lighted a candle, puts it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick… We went one cold, windy day to see a poor young girl, kept at home by a lame hip. Her room was on the north side of a bleak house. It did not look pleasant without or cheerful within. "Poor girl," I thought, "what a cheerless life is yours, and what a pity your room is on the north side of the house." "You never have any sun," I said; "not a ray comes in at these windows. It's too bad. Sunshine is everything. I love the sun." "Oh!" she answered, with the sweetest of smiles, "my Sun pours in at every window and through every crack." I looked surprised. "The Sun of Righteousness," she said, softly. "Jesus — He shines in here, and makes everything bright to me." Yes! Jesus shining in can make any spot beautiful, and make even one bare room a happy home. Parallel Verses KJV: No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. |
