Neville Goddard on John 10:27-30 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read John 10 in context

Scripture Focus

27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

28And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

29My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

30I and my Father are one.

John 10:27-30

Biblical Context

Jesus says his sheep hear his voice, he knows them, and they follow. He gives them eternal life and they shall not perish; no one can snatch them from his hand, for the Father gave them to him and he and the Father are one.

Neville's Inner Vision

John 10:27–30 is not about an outside shepherd, but about your own state of awareness. 'My sheep hear my voice' means the inner signal of truth that arises from the I AM in you. When you acknowledge that voice and calmly follow its lead, you are faithful, and the sense of self expands into a timeless life. Eternal life is not a distant quota to be earned; it is the constant realization that your being is fully alive in the present, immune to decay because it is consciousness itself. The assurance that none can pluck you from the hand of Jesus or the Father means that when you rest in the awareness of your unity with the Father, nothing can unsettle your being. You and the Father are one in the very act of awareness, not two beings in opposition. If fear or doubt arise, revise: I am held by the I AM; I belong to the one source; I hear and follow the voice within now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, breathe, and assume you are hearing the inner voice now. Revise any sense of separation and feel the Father's hand supporting you; affirm 'I and my Father are one' until it lands.
