Revelation 3:14-19
"And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and nakedI counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent."

The cure for spiritual blindness -- eye salve -- what is this?
The Greek word for "eye salve" is the word kollourion, transliterated "kollourion" which is the name of a then - popular type of eye salve that was made in Laodicea around the time that the Book of Revelation was written. The interesting thing about this eye salve is that it came in lumps shaped like small loaves of bread. In fact, the name is a diminutive form of the Greek word for a loaf of bread. So Jesus can be understood to be telling us to rub something into our eyes that is in some way related to bread. Now what could that thing be?
Matthew 4:4
Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.' "
