| The Frost-Bound Lamps |
| An evangelist, years ago, related the following account of his own experience: |
| “Returning home one Sunday evening, after preaching the gospel, my way led me along a dark road. As I neared the town where I lived, I saw the lamps giving out their gleams of welcome light. Those lights seemed to represent the believers spoken of in Philippians 2:15. “Ye shine as lights in the world.” There they stood in the dark winter’s night shining brightly, showing the traveler his way. But on coming closer I saw that several of the lamps gave no light at all and was told that they were frost-bound. There was the same power to feed one lamp as the other, but one shone and the other gave no light.” |
| This is a picture of believers, for, while some are shining brightly by the power of the Holy Spirit, too many are frost-bound by reason of worldly influences. Remember, “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. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:14-16). |
