Sabbath Made For Man's Living

Mark 2:27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Mark 2 in context

Scripture Focus

27And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
Mark 2:27

Biblical Context

Mark 2:27 presents Jesus' declaration that the Sabbath exists for humanity's welfare, not as a master over people. It invites seeing inner rest as the true Sabbath, lived through mercy, law, and covenant loyalty in consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Take Mark 2:27 as a declaration about the state you inhabit. The Sabbath is not a rule carved in stone; it is a movement of awareness made for man, the I AM who experiences life. If you feel bound by law, you have pledged your attention to an image of yourself as fragmentary or guilty. The inner healer is your consciousness, and the true covenant you honor is your own agreement with life as a merciful presence. The man who benefits is not a distant tribe but the entirety of your being when it rests in the I AM, when imagination is redirected from compulsion to care. Mercy and compassion become the daily Sabbath: you cease from stress by imagining harmony; you re-remember your unity with the Father within; you observe the law not as punitive, but as alignment with your higher self. In this moment, the inner I keeps covenant with itself, and the external world adjusts to reflect that inner harmony.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and affirm: I AM the Sabbath; my awareness rests in mercy now. Revise any sense of lack by feeling that inner harmony as already real.
