Luke 8:15-17

The Voice

¹⁵ But some people hear the message and let it take root deeply in receptive hearts made fertile by honesty and goodness. With patient dependability, they bear good fruit.

¹⁶ You wouldn’t light a lamp and cover it with a clay pot. You’re not going to hide it under your bed. No, when you light it, you’re going to put it out in the open so your guests can feel welcome and see where they’re going.

¹⁷ Hidden things will always come out into the open. Secret things will come to light and be exposed.
