When The Master Calls Within
John 11:28-31 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Mary rises at Martha's report that the Master has come and is calling for her; she goes quickly to meet Him, while bystanders misread her haste as a grave-side vigil.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the seeker, John 11:28–31 is the moment when the Master calls and a sister of your being rises. The Master is not a distant guest, but the I AM that lives as your awareness, the consciousness that asks you to step into your true meeting. Martha speaks the summons; Mary responds with haste, not merely from sorrow but from the knowing that presence has entered the room. The company in the house—comforters and bystanders—represents the world of appearances, the thoughts and beliefs that would keep you in the tomb of limitation. Yet an inner movement has begun: you accept the call, turn away from the grave of doubt, and move toward the light of the inner Christ. The stone is rolled away when you acknowledge that the Master is come and call you by name. Your faith is not a passive waiting but a living inner alignment that invites the outer to reflect the inner truth. When you live from that inner acceptance, situations rearrange, and the imagined distance between you and the Master dissolves into immediate presence.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and declare, 'The Master is come; I am the I AM,' and imagine Mary rising to meet Him. Spend a few minutes feeling that you are already in His presence, and revise any doubt by affirming that you have always been attended by the I AM.
