The Apply of My Eye - January 4, 2026

The meaning of the biblical phrase “the apple of his eye,” is popularized by the King James Bible. Drawing from Deuteronomy, we learn that the phrase refers to the pupil of the eye—a powerful image of God’s fierce protection and deep love for His people during the Exodus. The message then moves to Jesus’ prayer at the Last Supper in the Gospel of John, where Christ prays not only for His disciples, but for all who would come to believe. Through faith in Christ, we are united with one another and with God Himself. The good news is clear: in Christ, we are precious to God, fully protected, deeply loved, and truly the apple of God’s eye.
