Neville Goddard on John 6:25-27 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read John 6 in context

Scripture Focus

25And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

26Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

27Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

John 6:25-27

Biblical Context

People seek Jesus for physical bread, but He tells them to labor for the bread that endures—the life God gives through the Son. The enduring nourishment is an inner reality, not a temporary supply.

Neville's Inner Vision

The crowd seeks signs and loaves, but you are invited to see the deeper hunger: not for mere sustenance, but for the life that lasts. The Son of Man, given by the Father, is the inner authority awakening within you—the I AM made visible as your own consciousness. When you hear, labor not for meat that perishes, translate it into labor for the eternal life that remains when outer conditions falter. The bread of heaven is not a physical meal but the realization of your inherent being—your awareness that endures beyond appearances. The Father within has sealed this gift, a seal you can feel when you rest in the truth that you are the source and sustainer of your experience. The practical path is to shift attention from fleeting cravings to the certainty of your inner life; know that the enduring nourishment is already available in your consciousness, awaiting your acknowledgment and feeling.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and declare, 'I am the bread that comes from heaven; my life is nourished by inner truth.' Spend a few minutes feeling that nourishment as a warm, radiant presence within you, revising any sense of lack into an intimate certainty of inner life.
