Inner Sabbath Devotion
Luke 23:55-56 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The women who followed from Galilee witnessed the burial and how his body was laid. They returned to prepare spices and ointments and kept the Sabbath according to the commandment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Picture the scene as a living map of your own consciousness. The women from Galilee are not distant characters but movements of your inner state—devotion, obedience, and a longing to honor what you’ve allowed into your life. Their following signifies attentive awareness; their observation of the tomb mirrors your attention to the things you have laid to rest in the subconscious. The spices and ointments they prepare symbolize fresh feelings you cultivate to transform experience, while the sabbath they keep is the inner pause where you refuse to act from old momentum and instead rest in the I AM. In that resting, there is a quiet expectation: not of a future event, but of your own awakening—the perceived separation dissolving as you accept the unity of life with the I AM. When you imagine the outcome from this state, you lay the foundation for new motion to arise from stillness, not fear; the ordinary acts become acts of inner law, guiding you toward faith and trust that you are already complete in God.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit in stillness, assume you are the I AM and rest in the inner sabbath. Imagine your desire already accomplished, felt as peace and trust.
