Is there any truth in that you can “see” Christ’s presence in the eyes of pure and holy people?

I don’t know much about that, but if you replace the word “eyes” with “lives”, then it is very true.
 
I believe you can see love, honesty and kindness in people’s eyes – all reflections of God.

I have also seen eyes dark as coal and completely lifeless, mean and cruel.

And their eyes are clear and sparkling—and I will say something really corny, but it as if you can see Heaven, a foretaste of Eternity—especially in the eyes of babies.
 
Hi I believe that the eye’s have the ability to see the “image” of God or of other in each. I also believe that if we were to take Jesus as our Father Mry as our mother then we would all see ALL people as our brother and sisters. In seeing this way we would not destinguish but accept all as children of God in their birth hood. If we allow God to take us and dowith us what He wishes then the gifts, graces given us are uncountable.
I have seen a person who looked like most but as he came closer he reaked of evil and I told the women who were in the car with me to leave thinking that they might get hurt. My eyes didn’ t have to see him that way but I knew.
It is possible to see God as I have in others also and this is so beautiful and can bring tears to the eye of the beholder.

God bless

I completely agree.

I to have seen the lifeless cruel eyes. I saw a man once who when looking at him my blood ran cold. I was terrified and I could give you no logical reason for it.

I’ve also met people who are just so kind and warm that I don’t want to leave them.

No I don’t. I think that this kind of logic can lead to error and prejudice. What about the blind (those without eyes)?

One of the kindest set of eyes I’ve ever seen were a blind mans. He had become blind through a terrible illness and he was suffering constantly with extreme arthritis and as a result had to have various bones fused together. Despite all this he told people of the kindness and love of God at every opportunity. You could look into his eyes, even though he was blind, and see compassion, empathy, love and kindness.

As for leading to error and prejudice, a person who is looking for God in other people wouldn’t be the type of person to be prejudice but instead would pray. It’s those who don’t look for God in other people who fall victim to such issues.

I agree with the bold above. I’m talking about the people who have avoided persons due to the physical characteristics of their eyes like color, shape etc. To see Christ you must go beyond the eyes.

Understood! Thanks for the clarification, and in this case I would agree with you.
