Third Appearance of the Risen
John 21:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
This verse records Jesus appearing a third time to his disciples after his resurrection.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, this verse speaks not of external events but of a new rhythm of consciousness. The risen Jesus is the self's awareness, the I AM, stepping into the scene of your inner life where the 'disciples,' your faculties, beliefs, and habits, gather as witnesses. The third appearance signals a matured phase of life: the old dream of separation dissolves, and a new life asserts itself from within. The appearance is not finality but a continuing invitation to trust and to dwell in awareness. Your inner disciples do not see with physical eyes; they respond as images formed by imagination, and when you allow the I AM to reveal itself, you experience a resurrection of thought, the mind waking into fullness, the heart embracing peace, the will aligning with truth. In this light, the verse teaches that God is not distant but present as your consciousness, and every inner appearance is a reminder that reality is a state you occupy. Practice shifting your center from doubt to the assurance that you already are risen and alive.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling of a risen life within you; imagine the I AM revealing itself to the inner witnesses (your doubting mind) as a warm, undeniable presence, and rest in that certainty.
