Luke 11:33-36

Luke 11:33-36

[33] No man,  when he hath lighted  a candle,  putteth  it in  a secret place,  neither  under  a bushel,  but  on  a candlestick,  that  they which  come in  may see  the light.  [34] The light  of the body  the eye:  when  eye  single,  whole  body  also  full of light;  but  when  evil,  body  also  is full of darkness.  [35] Take heed  therefore  that the light  which  is in  not  darkness.  [36] If  whole  body  therefore  be full of light,  having  no  part  dark,  the whole  full of light,  as  when  the bright shining  of a candle  light. 

What does Luke 11:33-36 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

This exhortation concluded the controversy about signs ( Luke 11:16; Luke 11:29-33), as Jesus" teaching about the importance of obeying God"s Word ( Luke 11:27-28) concluded the controversy about casting out demons ( Luke 11:14-26). Both conclusions called on Jesus" hearers to respond to His teaching rather than continuing in the darkness of ignorance.
