Luke 11:33      Luke 11:35

Luke 11:34

The lamp of the body is the eye. [The eye is often a symbol of the heart.] When your eye is healthy (clear, focused), your whole body is full of light, but when it is corrupted, your body is also dark. [If a person has genuine and pure motives, she will see Jesus and her whole life will overflow with God's light; otherwise, Jesus' light and purity will blind her.]
