"Eyelight," or the light of the human, is a very uncertain sort of light. It depends wholly on the heart behind the eye. The eye is the light of the body. If the eye, the outlook, the purpose, is single to God's glory, to the light which streams from His Word, the whole body shall be full of light. But if the eye be evil, double, selfish, the whole body shall be full of darkness. Matt. 6:22, 23. Eyelight is very uncertain; it depends too much on the eye. He with the right eye does not depend upon his eye, but on the light the eye receives from God. He with an evil eye depends upon his eye and walks in darkness. The purpose of the eye is to receive light, not give it. The only true Light is Christ Jesus, the Light of the world.
