Reference: Matthew 6:22-23 New International Version (NIV)
"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness."
I'm still expounding the versified segment:
"But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness."
"Unhealthy eyes" here is denotative of "dimmed effects of reduced visibility", and the consequential development is that it grants access to darkness and allows it to flourish in the whole body, which in turn, produces the works of darkness, both inwardly and outwardly. When the "eyesight" reception [or its signal quality] is less clear, less bright, less strong, or blurred, it means that there is restriction in views.
And this restriction comes in two conspicuous dimensions, namely "physical and spiritual" restriction.
An illustrative instance that denotes physical restriction of an unhealthy eye is the matter of smoking. The eye that views the light that explains why smoking carries all manner of risks, and the elucidation that there is no safe level of smoking, and yet still entertains smoking - is an unhealthy eye, since the practice truly welcomes manifold negative effects of darkness on nearly every part of the body.
I may not be able to go into the breakdown of the detriments of smoking, but here is the bottom line: it ushers in a darkness, full of damaging effects in all parts of the body. So the eyes that see the detrimental effects and goes ahead to practise smoking - is indicative of unhealthy eyes, full of foggy signals, because the "sight" functionality is marked by lack of understanding and unwillingness to accept the damaging effects of such darkness.
Furthermore, an illustrative instance that denotes the spiritual restriction of an unhealthy eye is the matter of seeing and not being able to perceive. In this case, this is an evidence that the eye that sees does not guarantee or endorse the perception and comprehension of what is seen because the heart is not open or convinced. To instantiate this phenomenal verity, we can grant cogitative consideration to Mark 4:12, where the spiritual restriction of an unhealthy eye is notably described as "Seeing, they may see and not perceive..." (NKJV).
Beloved, when the beneficial times you spend in the Word deeply ingrain divine light within you, such that you become very sensitive to the things of the Spirit, it will unfold as having healthy eyes. And with healthy eyes, you can behold that the path of the righteous becomes like a shinning light that shines brighter and brighter unto a perfect day. The versified truth, in itself, numbered as Proverbs 4:18, was captured and seen by healthy eyes. In other words, the Solomonic insight is a function of eyes that viewed and evaluated the delightful progression of true light in the path of the righteous. Stay tuned for part 7. Shalom!
Scripture Reading - Isaiah 6:9; Isaiah 44:18; Psalm 119:105; Romans 11:8.
Exuberant Declaration:
My healthy eyes always grant me access to undeniable manifestation of divine light, and I'm joyfully grateful that my "inward and outward" expressiveness is consistent with the flow of spiritual truths bigly embedded in divine light. Praise God!
