The eye is the lamp of
your body; when your eye is clear, your whole body also is full of light; but
when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness. Then watch out that the light in you is not darkness.
If therefore your whole body is full
of light, with no dark part in it, it will be wholly illumined, as when the lamp
illumines you with its rays.
Luke 11:34-36 New American Standard
Bible (NASB)
The people were questioning
Jesus, demanding a sign to prove that He was right. Instead, He demanded of
them a sign to prove that they truly believed.
We prove what we believe by what comes out of us. If we are filled with
His light, we will shine as He does, but if we are filled with darkness we
cannot shine. The eye is likened to the mind
(reasoning/judgment/understanding), if we are filled with evil, our
understanding even of God will be wrong and our actions will follow suit. We
have to make sure that we have the Spirit and understand the Word correctly so
that we can shine as He does. We cannot shine while we sin. We cannot shine if
we hate or have bitterness or pride or selfishness. We have to have God, we
have to be filled with His light, in order to have His light shine out from us.
Is your “eye” clear? Are you filled with His light? Can others see your light
shine out?
