Windows of Grace

Commentators suggest the 'narrow' or 'closed' windows symbolize the Word and ordinances of the church. Through these means of grace, God's light shines into the lives of believers, providing comfort, guidance, and communion with Him. The 'narrowness' implies that our current understanding is only partial compared to the full glory we will experience in heaven.
