Commentary on Luke 8:17

Theological / Devotional

Nothing is secret. Compare Matt. 10:26; Mark 4:22; Luke 12:22. The lesson Christ here draws from the parable of the lamp and the lampstand differs from that given in regard to the same theme in the Sermon on the Mount. Here, Christ comes as the bearer of the light of truth to dispel darkness from the minds of men concerning God and the kingdom of heaven (see on Matt. 13:11). There is no “mystery” or “secret” of importance to salvation that will be concealed from those who “take heed” how they “hear” (Luke 8:18).
