<p>4:22- see on 1 Cor. 14:25.</p><p><i>For there is nothing hid, save that it should be manifested; neither was anything made secret but that it should come to light</i>- The ecclesias, groups of believers, are lampstands (Rev. 2:5 cp.&nbsp; Ps. 18:28). We must give forth the light, not keep it under a bucket, letting laziness (under a bed) or worldly care (a bushel) distract us; because &quot;there is nothing hid which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad&quot; (Mk. 4:21,22). In other words, the very reason why God has hidden the things of His word from the world and some aspects of them from our brethren, is so that we can reveal them to them. The whole process of covering truths before revealing them is not because God plays hard to get. It is because the process of discovery is for our benefit.</p>
