Love That Resurrects Within

Read John 11 in context

Scripture Focus

36Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
37And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
John 11:36-37

Biblical Context

People remark on Jesus's love for Lazarus, while others wonder why he couldn't have prevented death. The passage contrasts outward affection with the mystery of life beyond death.

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the scene as a symbol of your own states of consciousness. The crowd's statements are not about a long-ago tale but about your inner dialogue toward a circumstance. 'He loved him' becomes the recognition that the I AM within you loves the situation you call Lazarus. The question 'could not this man… have prevented death' is your old sense of limitation arguing against the new creation you imagine. In this view, God is not a person outside you; God is the I AM within—the living awareness that can imagine a different ending. When you hold the conviction that love has already resolved it, the apparent deadness dissolves and your life is revived. Practice this by assuming the end, feeling the wish fulfilled, and dwelling in the quiet certainty that resurrection is now. The crowd's debate fades as you enter the silent certainty that life is now, and you write the outcome with your imagination.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the end now and revise the scenario by saying, 'This is risen now; I am loved by God.' Stay with that feeling-it-real until it seems true, then release and observe the subtle shifts.
