If Jesus came to show the world what God is like, what does this parable mean?
Christ came to us, He forgives our sins, He saved us and He loves us unconditionally, He knows us, He knows all. As believers in Christ, we should not be afraid and we have nothing to hide, we should show the world our light, our love, trust, our grace in Christ.

There is a multiplier effect here, which is God`s way of expansion. A seed however shall, will grow to become bigger and bigger. A lamp however small, will shine more and more and expose everything, until darkness is no more. Whatever little you have, if it is of God, then it will mightily multiply, so do not hide Godly talent. Let it be seen, it will develop a global impact for God through Jesus Christ.

In Jesus, God was manifested. Christ stand like a standing lamp which was put to the rest of world; even to the gentiles who does`nt believe in Christ, knows He represents an holy spirit which is God through His word, deeds and preaching.

If Jesus came to show the world what God is like, what does this parable mean?
According to the parable of the Lamp on a Stand, God see anything hidden or done in secret. This means that any sin done in secret or hidden God is likekly to put it on the light. More over , the parable is teaching us not to hide the word of God and that we should take hold what we hear and ask God to give us anything we need. God is going to provide to us according to our measure. Let us hear the calling of God and proclaim the good news.

A light is meant to show not to hide. Christ came to reveal everyones guilt before God. Nothing can hide before him. And he also says that if we dont take care of the little knowledge we have about God, even what we know will be taken away from us.

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

God is light and justice
Morning! Always read the two passages `separately`. Being the lights that shine forth to bring the Message and treating others judgeing them and the Message Jesus Law of Love.... click? those other lines come to mind. Don`t do to others what you don`t wish done to you...so it means measuring thinking carefully of all our moves and actions of the intentions behind them and how tehy affect the others. Shedding the Light of the True Word on every step we take...a personal pic spouses and families and friends ALL walking together being lights - and rods - for each other.God is light and justice and we are called to be like Him.

A lamp on a stand
Parable mean that the preaching of the Lord is to furnish knowledge and to give spiritual insight to men, not hiding the truth but to make it more understood and easily recognized by the mind. It is important also that we are attentive of what we heard, application is nescessary studying the Word of God should lead to its application without application can be dangerous too because a deeper knowledge to the scripture comes stronger judgment if you fail to apply them. God begins showing your areas of your life that needs to change and call you greater responsibility it would be better not to study without application, you will just be heaping more judgement on you.

This parable means Jesus should not be hidden where he could not be seen by those who want him. This means that all the christian churches in the world should use any means to put the word of God on a lamp stand

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."

Mark 4:21-25
