HAPPY HOLIDAYS and MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
Today's paragraph is split to cover two parts. The topic is: (True riches) Part 2.
We continue or discussion with the second part of this paragraph topic. Christ is still talking to us about true riches. He tells us, "The lamp of the body is the eye." Taking his words at face value and as truth, the eye gives light to the body since that is the purpose of a lamp, to give light. He then goes on further to tell us the two kinds of light that will be present in the body. He says that if the eye is sound then the whole body will be full of light, but if the eye is evil then the whole body will be full of darkness. How can the body be full of light? How can we see the light that is in our body? Christ tells us that if we have a sound eye then we will have light in our body. If the eye be evil then we will have darkness in our bodies.
When I close my eyes, I see darkness, and not light. Does this mean that I am full of darkness and my eye is evil? How can I find the light that is in me, if I believe that I have a sound eye? What must I do? Christ has given us the key to having light in our bodies and not darkness. Can I find this light? Is it available to me? I do not want to be full of darkness. What must I do to have light within me?
I must search for the light that is within me. I must look day and night until I find it. I must desire with all my heart to see the true light that is within me. I will meditate upon what is within me that I may find the light. I will close my eyes and see the light for I know that I have a sound eye that is not evil.
Christ has given us this revelation under the topic of true riches. He is telling us that true riches lies within us. True riches lies within the light that we can see. Looking for it through our sound eyes will allow us to know for certain that it is there. Searching for it and praying that we find it will lead us to the source. It will open our eyes so that we may see.
Christ tells us that our whole body will be full of light. He lets us know with all certainty that we have light within us. We just have to open our eyes and see it. We have to be aware that it is there. We have to look beyond the darkness and see the light. We have to pull back the curtain, push out the darkness, expect to see the light and rejoice at the sight of what we have within ourselves. Unless we have evil eyes, the light is present for us to see. At first a small flash. Then and awareness of the source. Later the ever present light is there. And finally it lives within us.
Christ concludes by saying that if the light within us is darkness, then how great is the darkness itself. Seek not the darkness. Find the light. Search for it. Seek it out. Know that it is within you. Feel the need to see the light for without it we have nothing but darkness.
Christ concludes this paragraph also by telling us that we cannot serve two masters. We will love the one, money, and hate the other, God, or we will stand by the one, God, and despise the other, the devil. Love God. Seek him out. Know within yourself that he is seeking you. Let not the devil trick you. Know that he also is seeking you. He wants to deprive you of the treasures that await you in heaven. He wants to separate you from your heavenly Father. The devil wants to cast you into the dungeons of hell and prevent you from finding the light that is within you. Go to the light. Seek it out. Find it and you will have the knowledge that God is within you and that God loves you.
