Shine Light into the Darkness: 1st Century Oil Lamps

Read Matthew 5:14-16. People have lamps to give light. Covering up a lamp would be silly! What is our “light,” and what would it look like to cover it up? Why might we want to hide our lights?
Read Mark 4:21-22. This passage uses the same picture-light in a dark room-to teach a different lesson. Here we learn about listening. The truth that Jesus teaches is like a light shining into our hearts and into the world around us. We see clearly what we didn’t before. Why might we want to cover up the light of the truth?

Olive oil does burn, so it's something to think about.
