📖 经文（Mark 4:21–22）

“人拿灯来，岂是要放在斗底下，或床底下吗？不是放在灯台上吗？
因为掩藏的事，没有不显出来的；
隐藏的事，没有不露出来的。”

⸻

🕯️ 默想

Hanukkah 纪念一盏 不肯熄灭的灯。
原本只够一天的油，
却在圣殿中持续燃烧了八天。

不是因为资源充足，
而是因为 神的同在与保守。

在 Gospel of Mark 中，
耶稣没有长篇解释“光”是什么，
却用一个极其简单的画面——一盏灯。

不是武器，
不是烈焰，
不是照亮全城的光源，
只是一盏灯。

但这盏灯有一个清楚的目的：
不是被隐藏，
而是被放在灯台上。

⸻

🔥 光进入黑暗时

Mark 向我们展示：
当光进入世界，
黑暗不会立刻消失，
却开始 被揭露、被挑战、被逼退。
• 污秽的灵被驱逐
• 被压制的人得释放
• 隐藏的真相浮现
• 神的国悄然临近

Hanukkah 也是如此。
光不是靠数量取胜，
而是靠 忠心地持续燃烧。

⸻

✨ 今日的提醒（Hanukkah 当中）

今天，神不是问我们：

“你的光有多亮？”

而是问：

“你有没有把灯点起来？”
“你有没有把它放在该放的位置？”

光一旦被点燃，
它的使命就是 照亮，
而不是证明自己。

⸻

🙏 祷告

主啊，
你是黑暗无法胜过的光。

在这个 Hanukkah 的日子，
求你点亮我们里面那盏
看似微小、却真实的灯。

教导我们不把你所赐的光
隐藏在惧怕、妥协或沉默之下，
而是安静、忠心地照耀，
在你所安排的位置上，
直到你要显明的一切完全显明。

奉主名祷告，
阿们。

🕎 结束默想

Hanukkah 提醒我们：
神未必立刻除去黑暗，
但祂必定确保——
光会持续燃烧。

🕎 Hanukkah | The Light That Cannot Be Hidden

Festival: Hanukkah (Festival of Light)
Festival Dates: December 14 (sunset) – December 22 (sunset), 2025
Today’s Date: December 15, 2025 (During Hanukkah)
Scripture: Mark 4:21–22

⸻

📖 Scripture (Mark 4:21–22)

“Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed?
Instead, don’t you put it on its stand?
For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed,
and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open.”

⸻

🕯️ Reflection

Hanukkah remembers a light that refused to go out.
Oil that should have lasted only one day
continued to burn in the Temple for eight.

Not because resources were abundant,
but because of God’s presence and sustaining care.

In the Gospel of Mark,
Jesus does not offer a long explanation of what “light” is.
Instead, He gives us a very simple image — a lamp.

Not a weapon.
Not a blazing fire.
Not a light that illuminates an entire city.
Just a lamp.

Yet this lamp has a clear purpose:
not to be hidden,
but to be placed on a stand.

⸻

🔥 When Light Enters Darkness

Mark shows us that
when light enters the world,
darkness does not disappear instantly,
but it begins to be exposed, challenged, and driven back.
• Unclean spirits are cast out
• The oppressed are set free
• Hidden truths come into the open
• The kingdom of God draws near, quietly

Hanukkah tells the same story.
Light does not win by numbers,
but by faithfully continuing to burn.

⸻

✨ Today’s Reminder (During Hanukkah)

Today, God is not asking us:

“How bright is your light?”

Instead, He asks:

“Have you lit the lamp?”
“Have you placed it where it belongs?”

Once a light is lit,
its calling is simply to shine,
not to prove itself.

⸻

🙏 Prayer

Lord,
You are the light that darkness cannot overcome.

During this season of Hanukkah,
we ask You to light the lamp within us —
small in appearance, yet real and true.

Teach us not to hide the light You have given
beneath fear, compromise, or silence,
but to shine quietly and faithfully
in the place You have assigned us,
until all that You intend to reveal is fully revealed.

In Your name we pray,
Amen.

⸻

🕎 Closing Reflection

Hanukkah reminds us:
God may not remove the darkness immediately,
but He will always ensure that
the light continues to burn.
