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.Is there any truth in that you can “see” Christ’s presence in the eyes of pure and holy people?
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.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.
I completely agree.I believe you can see love, honesty and kindness in people’s eyes – all reflections of God.

No I don’t. I think that this kind of logic can lead to error and prejudice. What about the blind (those without eyes)?Is there any truth in that you can “see” Christ’s presence in the eyes of pure and holy people?
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.No I don’t. I think that this kind of logic can lead to error and prejudice.

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.One of the kindest set of eyes I’ve ever seen were a blind mans.

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