The Golden Lampstand
Next to the table stood a lampstand that lit the whole room. It represents believers being a light to the people around them, not by trying to shine on their own, but by reflecting the light Jesus already gave them.

Matthew 5:14-16Show verseHide verse
14You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden.
15Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.
16Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
