If Jesus came to show the world what God is like, what does this parable mean?
It is an instruction, God and and the worlds of Jesus are the lamp. They are the light, They even give us the instruction of measure whatever but They will also give you more to measure ''the light and the knowledge'' but if we don`t want to hear and follow the instruction even that, that is given to us just by birth will be taken away from us.

Well, I take this to mean that Jesus is the Light of the World. And those who have accepted him and accepted the word of God into their hearts. Can not be hidden from sight, so that you too will be like Christ and show your light to the world. For the more God gives you to apply to your life and preach & teach ours about the Word of God and what Jesus Christ has done for us All. Amen!

According to God`s Word, the reasons Jesus came to Earth were: To bear witness to the truth. To show us what God is really like. To defeat mankind`s old enemy, the devil, and deliver mankind from his control. To render him harmless against those who know the truth. So man can have life. There is only one way mankind can be brought to life -- by receiving Jesus Christ.

The parable means that we should give to others what we have recieved. The word of God, that has been made known to us, we should also make it known to others, and therefore not keep it inside us.

It means that Jesus is the light of the world. He has given us the Good News - the light of knowledge. Those who have been given faith should not hide this light, but must go out and make it known to everyone.

i think this parable means that God`s chosen ones should not be ignorance of what they know about the word of God and all that which God has given unto us, we should make use of all God given gifts without hidding anything because He himself has revealed all unto us. thank you

Jesus came to show the world
If we are the chosen people then we have to become His witness till the end of the world. So if the Lord trust us with simple thing then we have to obey in HIM then He will trust us with the big one. But if we stiff necked and hard hearted then the Lord will turn back from us, and He will take everything we have and the Lord will become our enemies.

If Jesus came to show the world what God is like, what does this parable mean?
Hello dear friends, To me this parable means that Jesus was the light of the world and he was shinning for the whole world and there`s no way he could have been able to show this light if he just set his back and kept quite like putting the light under the bed. So he wanted the world to know and recieve his light.And here his telling the disciples to never hide their salvation, this is really important to us to speak it out to the world that we are saved and children of the light of truth and by so doing we are shinning to whole world.

A Lamp on a Stand
Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? For sure it is put on a stand, don;`t hide your salvation let the whole world know about it don`t hide shout it out if you hide it might just stay and turn to rust and die away always give light to the rest of the world encouage others that are save to always stay above and not below, people will not know what they are to know if you stay below and most important you have to let your light shine for Jesus, if you hide your salvation what difference did it make getting save in the first place, so be proud for be a child of God and shine for Him.

A Lamp on a Stand

He said to them, "Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Isn't it put on a stand? For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light. If any man has ears to hear, let him hear."
He said to them, "Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you who hear. For whoever has, to him will more be given, and he who doesn't have, even that which he has will be taken away from him."
