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. The human eye is the most striking feature in the human constitution; is closest to the soul; gleams with ethereal fire. As the eye must not see double, but must be single in order that the body may be full of light, so there must be no double mind if the Christian would not walk in darkness. Pure motives are the light of the soul. I. It is the light of the soul because IT RELIEVES THE MIND OF DOUBTS CONCERNING THE PATH OF DUTY. If the soul be full of pure affection for God it will guide in the path of duty. II. Because it relieves the mind of doubts CONCERNING RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE. Does its adoption glorify God? (W. G. T. Shedd, D. D.) 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. |
