The eyes are the window to your soul.\u201d<\/p>\n

The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness.<\/p>\n
If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!<\/p>\n
Matthew 6:22, 23<\/p>\n

“The light of the body … – The sentiment stated in the preceding verses –<\/p>\n
the duty of fixing the affections on heavenly things – Jesus proceeds to illustrate by a reference to the \u201ceye.\u201d<\/p>\n
When the eye is directed steadily toward an object, and is in health, or is single, everything is clear and plain.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
If it vibrates, flies to different objects, is fixed on no one singly, or is diseased, nothing is seen clearly.<\/p>\n
Everything is dim and confused. The man, therefore, is unsteady. The eye regulates the motion of the body. To have an object<\/p>\n
distinctly in view is necessary in order to correct and regulate action.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Rope-dancers, that they may steady themselves, fix the eye on some object on the wall, and look steadily at that.<\/p>\n
If they should look down on the rope or the people, they might become dizzy and fall. A man crossing a stream on a log, if he will look<\/p>\n
across at some object steadily, will be in little danger. If he looks down on the dashing and rolling waters, he will become dizzy, and fall.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
So Jesus says, in order that the conduct may be right, it is important to fix the affections on heaven.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Having the affections there – having the eye of faith single, steady, unwavering – all the conduct will be correspondent.”<\/p>\n
