Alabaster Devotion, Inner Mercy
Luke 7:37 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Luke 7:37 tells of a sinner woman who enters the Pharisee's house and anoints Jesus with an alabaster box, revealing a devotion that transcends judgment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the I AM, the scene is not a bustle of rooms but a theatre of consciousness. The woman is the awakened feeling of your soul recognizing mercy; her alabaster box is the cherished self-image you are ready to pour out in honor of the Presence within. The Pharisee's house stands for the inner tribunal that judges you by appearances. When she anoints Jesus, she performs an inner worship that flows from the knowing that God is already present as I AM in you. The oil is the value you place on forgiveness, the tenderness you offer to your own faults. In this light, the events are inner movements: a shift from judgment to reverent acceptance, from fear to faith, from separation to unity. Your task is simple: assume that this inner chamber is filled with the divine presence, revise your sense of self to match that mercy, and feel it real until the outer scenes reflect the changed consciousness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling that you are already forgiven and beloved. Then imagine pouring out your alabaster box of self-judgments into the Presence within, and feel the relief as your mind accepts mercy.
