Matthew 6:22-23
The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness.
The description of the eye being healthy/good/single suggests the focus. What is your centre of attention? Where is your focus? If we are focused clearly on Jesus, everything else in the "house" including material possessions finds it's natural place. If those possessions, or anything else, become the focus, darkness fills the house and everything else gets messed up. Relationships are affected, work is affected, families are affected because it's like grasping around in a pitch black house trying to cook a meal. Fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.
