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)
Spiritually we are dead because our eyes are blinded by the scales of sin. Our view of life and reality is distorted. We think we are living but we are not. We are merely existing, captives to the wiles of the enemy.
Salvation brings light to the eyes. When we come to Christ and accept the gift given by His shed blood and the finished work on the cross, we begin to see things with precision and clarity and truly begin to live. As the Word says, we have been passed from death to life (1 John 3:14). We live and walk in love because we have now been exposed to the truth.
So, this begs the question….how is your sight? Excellent, I hope.
Prayer
Father, help us to walk in light and not in darkness. Open our spiritual eyes so that we see the truth if who you are. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
