"JESUS also said to them, 'When the light comes, is it put under a basket or a bed? Surely it is put on a lamp stand. Whatever is hidden will be disclosed, and whatever is kept secret will be brought to light. Listen then, if you have ears!'
And HE also said to them, 'Pay attention to what you hear. In the measure you give, so shall you receive, and still more will be given to you. For to the one who produces something, more will be given; and from him who does not produce anything, even what he has will be taken away from him.'" - Mark 4:21-25
(Listen then, if you have ears. JESUS warns us. "You waste your time if you only listen to ME yet do not allow what you hear to bear fruit. The measure that you measure out will be the measure you receive. That is to say, if you begin to act according to what you have learned, you will receive from GOD new strength and new knowledge. If you do nothing, even your religious beliefs will be of no value to you, not even when you present yourself before GOD. You read MY Gospel, but now challenge yourselves before you follow any further."
Whatever is hidden. The word works secretly within the heart but when we discover the transformation that is at work in our life, we readily proclaim CHRIST and make known to others the secret that has made us happy [Ephesians 2:4; Colossians 3:3; Philippians 2:10].)
