Present Work Of Father And Son

John 5:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read John 5 in context

Scripture Focus

17But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
John 5:17

Biblical Context

John 5:17 presents Jesus saying the Father is always at work, and so I too am at work. It points to a continuous inner activity within consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Understand that John 5:17 is not a history lesson about two distant beings, but a revelation of your inner operation. The Father's work is the ever-present sense that awareness is alive and acting; the Son's work is your willingness to participate in that activity here and now. When Jesus says 'My Father worketh hitherto, and I work,' he names a continuous partnership inside you: the I AM (the Father) and the form you call self (the Son) co-creating in a single stream. As you rest in the awareness that you are that I AM, every inner movement—thought, feeling, choice, perception—becomes a coordinated labor, not a sequence of separate attempts. The practical discipline is to assume that this divine activity is already in operation, revise any sense of separation, and feel the presence of God as your immediate reality. Imagination is your workshop; through feeling-it-real, you invite the Father and Son to complete their work in your now.

Practice This Now

Assume, right now, 'I am the I AM, and the Father and I are at work within me.' Revise any sense of separation and feel the presence of God as your immediate reality.
