The gates are opened wide; the eyes I mean. Without protection, without security!
He saw all evil! Well, how will a nail go through your head, hands and feet without your eyes turning red? Will you walk a long distance with a heavy burden without bloodshot eyes? I doubt!
But wait, what concerns the eyes with these pains? The eye is the mirror.
Beloved, we’re all members of one body of Christ and many of us are His eyes. Yes, after all we claim to be the light. “The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.” Matthew 6:22
Through us, He sees the way to go in the world. Through us, light comes to the whole body of Christ. We practically show the way to others. We’re so important. Glory!!!
Plot twist: He says His eyes are bloodshot and all it wants to do is mirror the same things He died for even after over 2000 years – the poverty, the pains, the sins, the sicknesses and the guilt.
Hmmmm. Medically speaking, bloodshot eyes could indicate a bad infection, the presence of a foreign object, eye tiredness, pressure, etc.
Does this mean I’ve introduced into myself, the eyes of Jesus, strange things?
No, not me! I refuse to be bloodshot! I refuse to be stained, pressured, infected, tired or even drunk with wine. I can’t waste His death, I can’t waste His pain.
“Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.” Psalms 51:7.
Fellow “Eyes”, It’s time to wash ourselves with the water of the Word and … ‘the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” (1 Peter 1:19)
Shalom.
Yours-in-Christ,
