Firstfruits of Living Resurrection

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville lens, this verse is an invitation to awaken the risen life within your own consciousness. Christ is not a distant event but the I AM now alive in you. ‘Risen from the dead’ denotes the release of old, limiting beliefs—the sleep of the former self—and the emergence of a living state that can be felt in the present. ‘Firstfruits’ points to the initial signs of renewal that precede a full awakening; you begin to notice the harvest of new perception before the entire body follows. The dead are only relics of past thoughts, dormant while the living reality asserts itself. Your imagination is the fertile soil; your I AM is the sun that ripens every possibility into experience. By assuming this risen state is already true, you plant the seed for a new creation to unfold. Do not chase Christ outside yourself; the inner resurrected life is your present truth, awaiting your conscious recognition and steady feeling of its reality.
