Today our questioner asks about Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6:22-23. He would like to know what Jesus means when He says, “The eye is the lamp of the body.”Dr. Caldwell says how he views this teaching, is he sees the Lord giving us a comparison or an analogy that means to teach us a spiritual truth. He shares that God has designed our bodies in a way that our eyes serve the whole person. So, there is a sense that when our eyes are healthy, the whole life, the whole body, the whole person is enlightened. But when the eye or eyes are bad, you either have difficulty seeing or cannot see at all. The entire body is in jeopardy when this is the case. Dr. Caldwell says we can think about this from the perspective of someone who has their physical eyesight and from one who is blind.He asks us to stop and think about how the eyes serve the rest of the body and then gives us an example. He helps us see how Jesus uses the physical to point to the spiritual truth. The healthy eye is the eye that sees, the eye that has spiritual perception. This eye, therefore, benefits the whole body to be full of light. But if the eye is bad it cannot see, it lacks spiritual understanding, and the entire body (the person) will be in darkness.Spiritually BlindIn the second half of verse 23, Dr. Caldwell understands the Lord as making application of what He teaches in these verses.
