Joyful Descent of Mercy

Luke 19:6-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 19 in context

Scripture Focus

6And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
Luke 19:6-7

Biblical Context

Zacchaeus hurried down to welcome Jesus joyfully, while the crowd murmured that mercy was shown to a sinner.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner practice, the man named I AM hears the call and springs to cooperate with grace. The guest is not a person but the recognition that God is already within; the house is your awareness. When you 'make haste' to descend from pride or resistance and welcome the guest, you affirm that the kingdom comes by your own inner decision. The murmuring is the outer chatter of limitation, the belief that mercy should be earned or policed by moral code. As you align with the I AM, you invite mercy to dine with you, and the sense of guilt dissolves in the light of welcome. The sinner within becomes a former self, not your essence; mercy is not conferred but remembered as your true state. Thus the scene is not about others' opinions, but about your inner state choosing to host grace. In your consciousness, the joyous reception generates a shift from lack to abundance, from separation to oneness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare: I am the I AM; I welcome mercy now. Visualize a guest entering the inner house—your awareness—receiving them with joy, and let any old negative murmurs fade.
