Shepherds of Inner Peace

Luke 2:8-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 2 in context

Scripture Focus

8And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Luke 2:8-14

Biblical Context

Shepherds in the fields hear that a Savior is born in David's city, and a multitude of angels proclaim God's glory and peace on earth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Luke's field is the theatre of your present consciousness. The shepherds watching by night symbolize a wakeful state attentive to the movements of imagination. When the angel of the Lord appears and the glory of the Lord shines around them, you are shown that the I AM—the one reality you call you—has awakened and is shining through your entire field. Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people, is the inner news that joy is not external fortune but the fruit of inner alignment. Unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord, signaling the birth of Christ consciousness within you—a new life arising at the center of your being. The sign, you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger, points to the newborn awareness clothed in simplicity and dependent on the I AM rather than old beliefs. The heavenly host’s cry, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men, shows that when you align with the I AM, heaven and earth harmonize in you. This is your inner birth, here and now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume, 'I am the Savior born in me today.' Feel the light of the I AM illuminate your field and let peace and goodwill settle in as real.
