Wholeness Beyond the Sabbath
John 5:9-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
A man is suddenly made whole and walks away on the Sabbath. The onlookers argue that healing is unlawful because of the day.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice how the man’s wholeness appears not as a change of laws but as a change of consciousness. The crowd names a Sabbath, but the Jesus within names a reality—I AM awareness, the living movement that makes every body whole. The healing occurs the moment the inner sense of I AM rises to meet the need, and the bed he carries becomes symbol rather than burden. The carbuncle of judgment—the Jews—react from a memory of law, while the healed man walks in the present vitality of his true nature. So, in your own life, Sabbath is not cessation from work, but cessation from doubt: the moment you acknowledge I AM as the doer, the outer circumstances bow to the inner claim. Let the sense of limitation drop, and keep your attention on the inner movement that ends in action, restoration, and freedom.
Practice This Now
Assume you are already healed now and feel the mobility in your limbs. Revise the scene by affirming I am the healing Presence as the background of every moment.
