Students often ask me about a saying from Jesus鈥 Sermon on the Mount: 鈥溾 if your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light; but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness鈥 (Matthew 6:22-23). It鈥檚 an interesting saying to study, because it requires us to look carefully at the context, at the Old Testament background, and at some unusual Greek and Hebrew idioms. More importantly, once the passage is understood clearly, it illuminates a key kingdom principle.
