Song of Solomon 1:15. Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves’ eyes.
So Christ speaks of his Church, she has the soft, mild, tender eyes of a dove. Besides, she has the discerning eye by which the dove can distinguish between carrion and fit food; and then she has a clear eye like that of the dove. You know that the dove, or pigeon, when it is taken far away from home, and wants to reach its cote, flies round and round till it gets up high, and then it looks for miles, perhaps for hundreds of miles, till it tracks with unerring eye its own resting-place, or some familiar landmark, and then, with cutting wing, it flies through the ether till it reaches its home. So, every believer should have doves’ eyes, - eyes that can see from earth to heaven, and see Christ in his glory, even when his cause is disowned by men.
