Read Mark 16 in context

Scripture Focus

1And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

Mark 16:1-2

Biblical Context

Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome buy spices after the Sabbath and go to the tomb at dawn to anoint him.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader of the I AM, this scene speaks of your inner ordering. The tomb is not a grave, but a fixed state of consciousness you once treated as real—lack, limitation, the memory of a dead image. The sabbath that has passed is your old story of separation; the women’s buying spices is your decision to adorn yourself with the truth that life is continual, not a tragedy to be mourned. The dawn of the first day of the week is the rising of awareness in you—the sun at your inner horizon. When you operate from that sun-lit state, you seek not to resurrect the corpse, but to awaken your awareness that you are alive to a new order of being. The act of anointing is the imaginative act of consecrating thoughts and emotions to the I AM within, treating every moment as a fresh anointing of divine presence. Your response to the empty tomb is to recognize that you are the resurrection you seek, here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, recall the dawn, and assume the feeling of the I AM waking within you. Revise any sense of lack by declaring that you are the resurrection and the life now, and that this day is a new beginning.
