Investigating the Human Eye
Bible Reading: Matthew 6:22-23
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, 23 but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
Reflection: Charles Darwin, the man who first developed the Theory of Evolution, said that the thought of the human eye made him ill because he couldn’t understand how it could be formed through natural selection. Look up the human eye on the Internet and read about its design. Discuss how the design of the eye is related to the light God created. What enables the eye to receive light? What focuses the light rays to give a clear picture? How does the eye receive color? What is the role of the brain in terms of sight? Which is a more reasonable explanation for the human eye: evolution or creation? Why?
Journal Writing: What is an important truth from the reflection? Why do you need to know that truth?
Application Prayer: Write out a prayer for God’s insight and help into how you can apply the truth from the reflection.
Week’s Memory Verse: John 1:3-4
3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of men.
Today’s study reminds me of the song Open the eyes of my heart, I want to see you.
