Eye Trouble

Matthew 6:22-23

With all his mechanical skills, man has never built a machine like the eye. The precision, delicacy, mystery & durability of the human eye surpasses all man’s ability to duplicate. Quote a scripture with an eye in it.
The eye is mentioned 334 times in the Bible.
The eye flashes with indignation, kindles with enthusiasm, expands with devotion, melts with sympathy, stares with fright, droops with sadness, pale with envy, fires with revenge, twinkles with myth, beames with love, frowns with wrath and contracts with pain. “An eye can threaten like a loaded gun, insults like hissing, or it can make the heart dance with joy.”
The eye combines the abilities of Telescrope and Microscope.

I: The Eye has great influence.
1. There are the near sighted eyes: My little world.
2. There are the far sighted eyes: Things look better at a distance. The amount of far sightedness, age effects.
3. The Tunnel Vision: See a narrow path ahead.
4. The Blurred Vision: Nothing because nothing clear.
5. The 20-20 Vision: Better standart (normal).
6. Eyes the subject of Poets and Writers.

Dr. Lee: “Eyes can pluck up the beauty of the Garden of the soul.”
2. “Instruments of unrighteousness unto sin.” Romans 6:13.
a. Doudet: “Eyes gleaming like lizards eyes.”
b. “When a man has base ends and speaks falsely, the eye is muddy, and sometimes dirty.”
3. “The eye isn’t satisfied with seeing.” Ecclesiastes 1:8.
Dr. Israel Shenker, 1969 N.Y. Times: “Eyes you know are the great intruders, and we are only now beginning to see the carefulness of eye conduct found in public places.”

III: Eye Trouble:
1. When the eye becomes lustful. Genesis 39:7 Patiphars wife.
2. “Having eyes full of Adultery that cant cease from sin.” Peter 2 2:14.
3. Fault find eyes. Matthew 7:3-5, (Williams).
4. Jealous eyes: “And Saul eyed David.” Samuel 1 18:9.
5. “The eye of greed. “He that hasteth to be rich, hath an evil eye.” Proverbs 28:22.
“If the eye offend thee, pluck it out.”

IV: The Eyes of Jesus:
1. Wept over a friends greave.
2. Wet with compassion for the multitude.
3. One look broke Peters heart and brought him to repentance.
4. “Go when you want to go, do what you want to do, there is an all-seeing eye watching you.”

The eye is the lamp of the Soul and thru the eye we often peep into the real you.
