Matthew 6

Jesus teaches that what a person focuses on will influence the direction of the entire life. A single eye represents a heart that is fully focused on God, while an evil eye represents divided desires, selfishness, and spiritual distraction. When the heart is centered on Christ, the life is filled with spiritual light, but when attention is controlled by sin and worldly desires, darkness begins to shape a person’s thoughts, choices, and actions. The lesson is to guard what enters the heart and remain completely devoted to God.
