Luke 11:33 says: "No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light."(NIV)
Jesus had said that his disciples were "the light of the world" and were to "let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."(NIV)(Matthew 5:14-16; Mark 4:21)
He was explaining that when a person lights a lamp, it would not make sense to hide it away, under a basket, but rather, to put it up where it can light up the area. Jesus' miracles would have this effect on 'spiritually minded' people with a 'simple (or focused) eye', and would cause them to happily share and spread this good news to others, like light shining in a dark place!The people he was speaking to in Luke 11, however, were critical, and did NOT have a spiritual leaning, so were not understanding the point of his miracles(Luke 11:14-36), and were in danger of continuing 'in darkness' spiritually.

In Luke 11:33, Jesus uses the analogy of a lamp to emphasize the importance of letting our light shine for others to see. Just as a lamp is meant to illuminate a room, we as believers are called to be a light in the world by living in a way that reflects God's love, truth, and goodness for others to witness and be guided by. The verse encourages us to be aware of the impact our actions and choices have on those around us and to strive to be a positive influence in the world.
