“The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.”
Luke 11:34-35 KJV
Dr. Luke writes, “The eyes of your spirit allow revelation-light to enter into your being. When your heart is open the light floods in. But when your heart is hard and closed, the light cannot penetrate and darkness takes its place. Open your heart and consider my words. Watch out that you do not mistake your opinions for revelation-light!” The teachings of Jesus are the “revelation light” referred to here. It is your eye that is the lamp of your body. If your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light; but if it is sick, your body is full of darkness. The eye becomes a metaphor for spiritual perception. The body is our spirit, the lamp is Jesus’s teachings. The darkness is formed by the lies and opinions that blind us. As the psalmist said, “Your commandments are my counselors; your Word is my light and delight!” So we have the prophetic Word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. Let’s know the power of the Word of God that brings God’s Light and Life into us. Amen!
