The eye is the organ of our moral vision. What the eye sees expresses the state of the heart and conscience. The sinful heart sees with unsatisfied desire—“the eye is not satisfied.” It sees with eyes of “lust”; it sees with an “evil eye”; it sees with a distorted perspective (a mote in the eye). A heart of unbelief makes the eye blind, so that it cannot see. An idol in the heart makes the eye like that of a man who makes images which are “without understanding; which have eyes, and see not.” Pride makes a man look at himself; he is like Job, who was “righteous in his own eyes.” A pure heart gives a “single eye” which receives the light from God that illuminates the soul with truth and love. When God opened the eyes of Adam and Eve after they sinned, their moral eyes told their conscience that they were naked before the holy eyes of God, and they tried to cover themselves. Having a perfect heart of love, God, who is light, has perfect eyes. He sees everything and understands perfectly what He sees. How good are your eyes? This issue provides an eyesight checkup for each of us.
