Matthew 6:22
King James Version
22 The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single,
thy whole body shall be full of light.
Now I also know why JESUS said:
Matthew 5:28
King James Version
28 But I say unto you,
That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her
hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
From which, the LORD added:
Matthew 5:29
King James Version
29 And if thy right eye offend thee,
pluck it out, and cast it from thee:
for it is profitable for thee
that one of thy members should perish,
and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Not to mean you literally pluck out that sinning eye.
JESUS wants us to have singleness of vision.
To be full of His light.
To follow His commandments.
And to do the will of GOD.
Matthew 6:22-23
King James Version
22 The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single,
thy whole body shall be full of light.
As we must, for Jesus is the light of the world.
John 8:12
King James Version
12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying,
I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,
but shall have the light of life.
He was a light to the Gentiles.
Isaiah 49:6
King James Version
6 And he said,
It is a light thing
that thou shouldest be my servant
to raise up the tribes of Jacob,
and to restore the preserved of Israel:
I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles,
that thou mayest be my salvation
unto the end of the earth.
In Jesus was life.
John 1:4-9
King James Version
4 In him was life;
and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God,
whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness,
to bear witness of the Light,
that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light,
but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light,
which lighteth every man
that cometh into the world.
His light was in His glorious gospel.
2 Corinthians 4:4
King James Version
4 In whom the god of this world
hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,
lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God,
should shine unto them.
Jesus wanted us to be children of light.
John 12:35-36
King James Version
35 Then Jesus said unto them,
Yet a little while is the light with you.
Walk while ye have the light,
lest darkness come upon you:
for he that walketh in darkness
knoweth not whither he goeth.
36 While ye have light, believe in the light,
that ye may be the children of light.
These things spake Jesus,
and departed,
and did hide himself from them.
No wonder, Satan attacks our "eye".
Showing us things that displease the Lord.
In order to corrupt, and destroy us.
He doesn't want us to be children of light.
But CHRIST had a mission, which no one can thwart.
John 9:39
King James Version
39 And Jesus said,
For judgment I am come into this world,
that they which see not might see;
and that they which see might be made blind.
And because people, filled with pride, prefer looking through the eyes of the world, their sins remain.
John 9:40-41
King James Version
40 And some of the Pharisees
which were with him heard these words,
and said unto him,
Are we blind also?
41 Jesus said unto them,
If ye were blind, ye should have no sin:
but now ye say, We see;
therefore your sin remaineth.
Only through the LIGHT of CHRIST can we be saved from darkness.
Isaiah 60:19-20
King James Version
19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day;
neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee:
but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light,
and thy God thy glory.
20 Thy sun shall no more go down;
neither shall thy moon withdraw itself:
for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light,
and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
