Resurrection Imagination Practice

Luke 20:27-33 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 20 in context

Scripture Focus

27Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
28Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
31And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
32Last of all the woman died also.
33Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
Luke 20:27-33

Biblical Context

The passage presents a legal quandary about marriage in the afterlife, asked by the Sadducees. Jesus redirects to a living, spiritual reality beyond literal rules.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the I AM within, this scene is not a riddle about marriage but a mirror of inner states. The seven brothers and the woman symbolize the many thoughts and identities that move through your attention. The question, 'In the resurrection, whose wife?' exposes the old legalistic habit still clinging to form. Yet the Christ-consciousness Jesus embodies does not adjudicate by law; it awakens you to a single, timeless Presence beneath all changing forms. The Resurrection is not a future event but a shift of identification from one outward role to the living sense of I AM, here and now. When you think in terms of 'this is mine' or 'that will be mine in the next life,' you are still acting within the old story. Real life arises when you assume the unconditioned life of I AM—resurrection as a present state of consciousness, not a contractual outcome. The seven husbands become symbols of transient thoughts; in the resurrected view, none takes precedence because all allegiance rests with awareness. Your task is to revise: I am the resurrection now; I am life unbound by history.

Practice This Now

Assume the state—'I am the resurrection now'—and revise any old story of lack. Sit for a few minutes, feel the steady aliveness of your being as if this were your immediate experience.
