Stained Glass Windows in the Sanctuary of First Baptist Church of Royal Oak

Eye of God

The eye in the triangle is doubly symbolic. The triangle represents the fullness of God in relationship to human life: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This three-in-one emphasis is expressed in the benediction given in II Corinthians 13:14 , "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."

The eye symbolizes the eternal watchfulness of God. This is true protectively: "He who keeps you will not slumber." (Psalm 121:3). Also, "The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous." (Psalm 34 :15). It is also true of God's constant awareness of the thoughts and deeds of persons, "The Lord looks down from heaven, he sees all the sons of men ... and observes all their deeds." (Psalm 33:13-15).
