Of the five senses, most would agree that being able to see with our eyes is the most important. Suppose you were blind, how dark your world would be! You would also be limited in what you could do. Only the Lord Jesus had power to restore sight to the blind and He could impart this power to others.
It is by the eye that we take in so much of what is either good or bad. We can also learn faster if we are observant of all that is around us. The Bible has many verses that instruct and guard as to what our eyes should see.
People forget that “He that formed the eye, shall He not see?” Not only can we see, but so can God! He sees everything and everywhere. There is nothing that escapes His notice.
Let’s look for a few references to the eyes in Scripture.
