Jesus Wants Us to Lift Up the Lamp, Share the Light, and Await His Second Coming ㅡ
“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.” (Matthew 5:14, 15)
Let no one feel inclined to hide his light. Those who hide their light so that the world may not distinguish between them and those who walk in darkness will soon lose all power to diffuse light.
They are the ones who are represented by the five foolish virgins, and when the crisis comes, when the call is heard “Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him” (Matthew 25:6),
they will arouse at last to find that their lamps have gone out, that they have mixed with the elements of the world and have not provided themselves with the oil of grace.
They were lulled to sleep by the cry of peace and safety, and did not keep their lamps trimmed and burning.
Aroused to their darkness they plead for oil, but it is impossible for one Christian to impart character to another soul.
Character is not transferable. Those who are ease-loving, world-loving, fashion-loving professors of Christianity will not go in to the marriage supper of the Lamb with those who are represented by the five wise virgins.
When they solicit entrance they are told that the door is shut. Now is the time to impart light.
(That I May Know Him 215.1, 215.2)
