Inner Lineage Of Christ Within

Matthew 1:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 1 in context

Scripture Focus

16And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Matthew 1:16

Biblical Context

The verse traces Jesus' birth lineage by naming Jacob, Joseph, and Mary, affirming Jesus as the Christ.

Neville's Inner Vision

I hear Matthew 1:16 speaking not of outward bloodlines but of the inner line of consciousness. Jacob stands for the old man of belief, a memory of separation; Joseph—the husband of Mary—embodies the active masculine will that guards and directs the birth. Mary represents receptive awareness, she who must conceive the higher idea. When these inner states unite, Jesus—the Christ—arises as a born state of consciousness within you. This birth is not a history lesson but a present creation: the I AM, your awareness, births the living Christ when you align the will (Joseph) with the virgin receptivity (Mary) and accept that the Christ is your own I AM made manifest. The genealogy reminds you that every thought, every state of consciousness, contributes to the birth. Your kingdom is not a throne in Rome but the reign of right belief within. The moment you assume the truth that you are the I AM and that Christ is now, the birth occurs and the word 'Christ' becomes your lived experience.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume Joseph—the guarding, active will—consciously aligning it with Mary’s receptive consciousness. Then feel the Christ born within you, here and now, as your I AM.
