Eyes are often mentioned in God’s Word. There we learn that
“The Eyes of the Lord”
are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.” (
Prov. 15:3
3
The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. (Proverbs 15:3)
). “The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth” (
2 Chron. 16:9
9
For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars. (2 Chronicles 16:9)
), and “all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do” (
Heb. 4:13
13
Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. (Hebrews 4:13)
).
Nothing done is hid from Him, so that all day, and every day you may say, “Thou God seest me.” (
Gen. 16:13
13
And she called the name of the Lord that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me? (Genesis 16:13)
). All the ways of man are “before the eyes of the Lord” (
Prov. 5:21
21
For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his goings. (Proverbs 5:21)
). Nothing can be hid from them. Even “secret sins” committed in the dark are well known to Him. And for all these things God will bring sinners into judgment (
Eccles. 11:9
9
Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. (Ecclesiastes 11:9)
), and they will have to give account to Him of all that they have done.
Some, both old and young, who are
“Clean in Their Own Eyes”
(
Prov. 16:2
2
All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits. (Proverbs 16:2)
), are not “washed from their filthiness” (
Prov. 30:12
12
There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. (Proverbs 30:12)
). They are
“Right in Their Own Eyes”
(
Prov. 21:2
2
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts. (Proverbs 21:2)
), but wrong in the eyes of the Lord and need to be saved. To get
“The Eyes Opened”
(
Acts 26:18
18
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. (Acts 26:18)
), to see our sinful condition, is our first need. Then to look to Christ (
Isa. 45:22
22
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. (Isaiah 45:22)
) for salvation, as the Israelites did to the brazen serpent on the pole (
Num. 21:8
8
And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. (Numbers 21:8)
:
John 3:14
14
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: (John 3:14)
).
“Our Eyes Are Upon Thee”
(
2 Chron. 20:12
12
O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee. (2 Chronicles 20:12)
), expresses faith’s look to God, first for salvation, then for preservation each day, all the way.
But to disbelieve and reject Christ causes
“The Eyes to Be Closed”
(
Matt. 13:15
15
For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. (Matthew 13:15)
), then “blinded,” so that they cannot see.
“In Hell He Lifted Up His Eyes”
(
Luke 16:23
23
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Luke 16:23)
), tells of the awful end of such a life — in torments, with a great gulf fixed between the soul and heaven — “afar off” from light, and love — from Christ forever.
