"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness." Matthew 6:22-23 (NIV)
As part of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said that ones eyes are the lamp and light to the body. If ones eyes are good and look at good, then the whole body is filled with light. However, if the eyes are bad and look at that which is bad, then the whole body is full of darkness.
Physically, the eyes allow light to enter the body if they are functioning properly. If they do not function properly and do not allow light to enter, then we live in darkness. Spiritually, that which we look at and see enters our mind through our eyes. If what we see is good, then good thoughts are produced. However, if what we see is bad, evil, or sinful, then that is what we think about. Philosophically, our eyes are the windows to our soul and we are what we think. (Proverbs 23:7) So, be careful what you look at, look at good things, read The Good Book (the Bible), think good thoughts, and do good.
