Sinner to Savior: Inner Healing
Mark 2:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Mark 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus eats with publicans and sinners; the Pharisees question it. Jesus answers that the healthy have no need of a physician, and he came to call sinners to repentance.
Neville's Inner Vision
In every moment, the scene is not about outward company but inner company. The 'scribes and Pharisees' are the fixed judgments on your own consciousness, the idea that you must be good before you can be loved. The 'publicans and sinners' are the neglected parts of you that feel separated, unworthy, or in need of healing. When Jesus says the healthy have no need of the physician, he is not denying the pure; he is naming the truth that the physician is consciousness itself, always available to the aware I AM. You are the one who calls and heals; your inner physician arrives where you acknowledge a sickness of belief—where you believe you are separate from your own vitality. "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" becomes: I awaken to the realization that I can revise my story about myself; repentance is simply a turning of attention, a change of state from diagnosis to wholeness. The healing happens as you assume a new state of consciousness and feel it as real now.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the state 'I am the physician within me, calling every part to wholeness.' Feel the relief as you accept the neglected parts and dwell in this healing sense for a few minutes.
