“No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light. (Luke 8:16-17 ESV)
When Jesus starts explaining parables with other parables, it can be like a roller coaster ride- keep hanging on for the next turn. But then, that is part of the point of the parables of the seed and the light. Keep at it. Keep tilling the spiritual soil to stay soft for the seed to take root, and keep on sharing what God has taught you. He won't take you any further if you don't apply what you learn, and why should He teach you more if you're going to hog it to yourself? If it is truly part of your life, you cannot help but showing it and sharing it. If it's not showing, the seed hasn't taken root, the lamp hasn't been lit.
