The Inner Christ Identity

Mark 8:27-30 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Mark 8 in context

Scripture Focus

27And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?
28And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
29And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
30And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
Mark 8:27-30

Biblical Context

In Mark 8:27-30, Jesus asks what people say about him; the crowd offers various names, then Peter declares, 'You are the Christ,' after which Jesus urges secrecy about the confession.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner economy, Caesarea Philippi becomes a landmark in your awareness—the place where outward opinions crowd in. When Jesus asks, 'Whom do men say that I am?' listen to the chorus of names your world assigns to your self: John the Baptist, Elias, a prophet. Those voices are not truths about you but reflections of your belief in separation and limitation. Then comes the personal question, 'But whom say ye that I am?' Peter’s candor—'Thou art the Christ'—is a turning of attention from others’ labels to your own inner I AM. In Neville's psychology, this is a shift of consciousness: you awaken to the Christ within, the living principle that you already are. The upper limit of fear, the injunction to tell no man, serves to keep the awakening intact until you have proven it in your daily field of experience. The Kingdom of God, the realm of truth and faithfulness, arises as you trust this identity. When you assume the Christ identity, your thoughts align with it, your feelings swell with that certainty, and your world moves to reflect that inner reality of the I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and declare, 'I AM the Christ within me now.' Feel that I AM as living reality, then imagine your day answering from that inner throne.
