Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light. 1. The mind has eyes — organs to see truth, to know realities in the world of thought; these eyes are understanding and reason. Furthermore, our natural eyes perceive the colour of objects as well as the objects themselves, so the mind has perception of the quality of action as just and beautiful, or the opposite. 2. But as the eyes are dependent upon light, so are our minds dependent upon the light God sheds upon us. Reason, conscience, need light. It is folly for a man to say he has no need of light, that his eyes are enough for him! 3. The mind's organ of vision is subject to disease. Parallel Verses KJV: The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. |
