This morning I was debating on going to church with this big bruiser black eye I have. I then was trying to decide where I was going with the scriptures and I went back to one of my favorites (Matthew 6), and guess what I ended up writing about? God even has a sense of humor I believe. As a Christian, you possess the ability to see Christ in other people. Isn’t it awesome when you just KNOW they are a brother or sister in Christ? But I do believe we also recognize darkness that may not be as visible to those whom do not possess the Light. We are told we are not of this world and I believe a discernment comes with that.
The Eyes
Matthew 6:22 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. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
In this part of Matthew 6, he is speaking much of where do we place our focus? Do we place our focus on worldly pursuits and the worries that come with them? Or do we place our faith and trust in the providence of God? If we place our faith in Him, and the focus of our lives are the things of Him, we begin to emit a light that dwells in us, that is Christ. Verse 21 says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
We all know what it is like to talk to someone who will not look us in the eye when they are speaking. How it is disturbing to our souls, and causes a big shadow of doubt, for the eye is the window to the soul. People can see Christ in you, or they can see through you when they posses the Light that Christ brings to dwell inside you upon Salvation. One of my closest friends, and the Godliest man I know said to me once, “You are what you believe.” A deep statement in only a few words. You will reveal by your every action what dwells inside you, good or bad.
