The physical eye in the human body is a miracle of creation. The human eye needs light to be able to see. The bible talks a lot about the spiritual vision. When people don’t have the spiritual vision they throw off restraint and live in darkness. God has to shed light on the things of the spirit for us to have spiritual vision. John 12:35-36 MKJV (35) Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while the Light is with you. Walk while you have the Light, lest darkness come upon you. For he who walks in darkness does not know where he goes. (36) While you have the Light, believe in the Light so that you may become sons of Light. Jesus spoke these things and departed and was hidden from them. God provides the light or else we cannot have spiritual vision.
