The Parable of the Lamp on a Stand is a story told by Jesus in Luke 8:16 and Luke 11:33. In this parable, Jesus uses the image of a lamp on a stand to emphasize the importance of living a life that is authentic and visible. He says that no one lights a lamp and hides it under a bowl or a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand so that those who enter may see the light.

It emphasizes the need to let our light shine before others, to be authentic and visible in our beliefs and actions.
