Matthew 6:22,23 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness……..”
The eye brings picture images into our body that are very useful in living, learning, working and having recreation. The images that we see also bring light into the soul and what we seek to look at, also reflect what the mind likes to dwell upon and feed on. For the non-sighted God does not change His commission to dwell upon the pure and Christ centred images that enter our mind very efficiently, by other avenues.
The challenge is in this sensory world, is to keep beholding what is pure, and not of darkness and sin. When I am serious in my intention to serve Jesus my Saviour and meet Him when He comes again and go with Him to dwell in heaven, I choose to follow Jesus and obey His words. If I am filled with images of darkness from Satan, I would not be happy in heaven, a place where the purity and brilliant light of God the Father and His Son, Jesus would be unbearable, blinding, causing death. The Bible tells us that this source of light from them, will be sufficient and no other source of light will be needed in the heavenly city.
If when upon earth, I only seek to behold the good things with the heavenly light in them, instead of seeking anything full of darkness and wickedness from Satan, which bring wrong thoughts and actions; my whole body is lit up with light from Jesus. It is then I have light to reflect from Jesus to others, which is a commission from God for all of God’s family.
Jesus not only fills me with the resolve to truly follow His words in Matthew 6: 22, 23, but gives me understanding about what is and is not a true source of light for my soul. I have learned to stop looking at some entertainment, many books, games which are tainted with the darkness from Satan blunting my desire for God and His wholesome entertainment.
I have been so blessed from heaven as Jesus rains down His light and peace into my mind.
