“The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!”
Matthew 6:22-23 KJV
Jesus teaches here, “The eyes of your spirit allow revelation-light to enter into your being. If your heart is unclouded, the light floods in! But if your eyes are focused on money, the light cannot penetrate and darkness takes its place. How profound will be the darkness within you if the light of truth cannot enter!” The teachings of Jesus are the “revelation light” referred to here. “Healthy eyes” means being generous. Also, our eye is like a lamp for our body. An “evil” eye can be associated with being stingy and greedy. If our eye is healthy and focused, our whole body is full of light, but if it is sick and evil, our body is full of darkness. The “eye” is a metaphor for spiritual perception. The “body” is our spirit. The “light” is Jesus’s teachings. The “darkness” is formed by the lies and opinions that blind us and make all our ways dark. That’s why we meditate on Jesus’s teachings and do what it says. Whoever wants to embrace true life and find beauty in each day must stop speaking evil, hurtful words and never deceive in what they say, cultivating what is good; eagerly pursue peace in every relationship, making it our prize. Amen!
