Biblical Context

Jesus warns the disciples they will be offended and scattered tonight; after rising, he will go before them into Galilee. Peter and the others insist they would never deny him, yet Jesus foretells Peter's thrice denial.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this passage, every outward forecast is a state of consciousness. The offense and scattering are inner conditions stirred by the thought of loss; the 'shepherd' represents your guiding sense, and the 'flock' your ideas scattered by fear. The rising promise points to a shift in consciousness beyond the present belief in separation; 'I will go before you into Galilee' signals your inner Self already guiding you to a place of peace prepared within. Peter’s bravado reveals the mind’s stubborn identification with an old self-image, while the predicted denial marks a moment to witness the mind’s attachment to fear. The drama serves as a mirror of your current awareness, inviting revision through your I AM. The method is simple: assume you are already in the new state, let the old fear dissolve, and feel the truth of your consciousness as real here and now.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already in Galilee within your consciousness and feel the I AM directing you ahead; revise the scene by softly repeating, 'I am faithful now,' until it resonates as your lived truth.
