v.33 1. Light is to benefit another’s life.

(No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither

under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the

light.)

v.33 2. Light is not to be covered over.

v.34 3. The eye of man reveals his condition with God.

what he sees

(The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy 

whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is

full of darkness.)

v.34 4. The presence of God will be revealed as the source of light in a believer’s

life.

The light (desire) of his life.

v.34 5. The eye of the unbeliever will only reveal the darkness present there.

Avoid only emphasizing the eye itself. Jesus is talking about spiritual truth

that has evidence in a life.

The eye of a believer receives the light of Jesus; sees spiritually by that light.

v.34, 6. Darkness is evidence of destruction (evil) present and forthcoming- no hope 

   35 of light, full of darkness.

(Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.)

v.36 7. The fullness of Christ abiding in a life gives it brightness throughout (in

every life expression).
