The Centurion's Inner Praise
Luke 23:47 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The centurion, upon witnessing the crucifixion, glorifies God and declares that this was a righteous man.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice that the centurion's act is not about history but about your inner sight. In Neville's psychology, God is the I AM—awareness that witnesses, not the events themselves, but the meaning you give them. When he says, 'Certainly this was a righteous man,' he voices the state of consciousness you can assume. The outer deed awakens an inner recognition: righteousness is not a distant virtue but a quality already present in your own awareness. The scene is a mirror showing how judgment and praise arise from the same I AM. If you fix your attention on the feeling of nobility within you, you will find that what you call 'the world' is an unfolding of that inner righteousness. The centurion's glorifying God is your inner glorification—praising the divine pattern in yourself and others. You do not change the world; you shift your identification from lack to fullness, from doubt to faithfulness. Thus the true confession arises: you are the righteous man living as the I AM, and every event confirms it as real in your consciousness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume the stance of the centurion in your mind, look at a current situation, and declare, 'This is righteousness.' Then feel the gratitude as the God within you is glorified now.
