Neville Goddard on John 13:20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read John 13 in context

Scripture Focus

20Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

John 13:20

Biblical Context

To receive the one Jesus sends is to receive Jesus himself, and to receive Jesus is to receive the Father who sent him.

Neville's Inner Vision

The verse reveals that the messenger and the sent are not separate beings but expressions of a single divine I AM within you. When you acknowledge the person who appears (the messenger), you are really acknowledging Christ within, and by receiving Him you receive the Source that sent Him. Your inner state creates the scene: the sender and the sent are movements of consciousness, and to welcome one is to rise into unity with the other. This is not external obedience but an inner alignment—a conscious assumption that this message has already occurred in your world. If you want to experience it, revise your sense of separateness and rest in the truth that all who come to you are instruments of the I AM teaching you from within. By imagining the messenger as divine, you dissolve resistance and allow the movement of God to unfold in your life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are already in the presence of the messenger. Feel the I AM welcoming the message as if Christ were entering your room.
