The Gospel of Matthew - The Sound Eye | Matthew Chapter 6 : 22 - 23

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus uses the metaphor of the eye as a symbol of spiritual perception. He teaches that the eye is the lamp of the body; if the eye is healthy and focused on light, the whole body will be filled with light. However, if the eye is unhealthy and focused on darkness, the body will be filled with darkness. Jesus emphasizes the importance of spiritual discernment and the need to guard one's heart and mind against moral corruption and spiritual blindness. This passage underscores the significance of having a pure and focused spiritual vision, which illuminates one's path and guides them toward righteousness.
