Stage Spotlighting

 ““No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light. The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness. Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.””Luke‬ ‭11:33-36‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Stage management is an art of spotlighting that requires the mixture of light and darkness. All objects and activities that are not spotlighted are necessarily shedded from the glare of the audience through the power of darkness. Unfortunately, human lifestyle and socialization have also employed the art of stage management with the power of greed, bitterness, and dishonesty. For sinners and the unregenerate souls, these attributes are normal and understandably unavoidable. But when a man claims to have received the light of the gospel or in the words of Jesus Christ ‘has lit a lamp’, his conduct at home, office, and among people in the society should be void of secrecy, with no skeletons in his cupboard. For example, the Pharisees were eager to spotlight the open unhealthy table manners, charitable donations, and public seat codes; but would carefully keep away their corrupt lifestyles, unforgiving spirits, and unrighteousness from the spotlight. Whereas, unlike a stage managed project, the life of a redeemed child of God is expected to be an open book with no dark spot at all in character and conduct.
