Inner Rescue of the Lost
Matthew 18:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse states that the Son of Man came to save what is lost.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville's ear, the 'Son of Man' is not a distant historical figure but the I AM within you—your essential consciousness. The line says salvation comes to what you mistakenly deem lost, which is simply a memory of your own wholeness. When you dwell in the awareness that you are the I AM, the inner movements of consciousness begin to redeem the fragments you carry: fear, lack, separation, remorse. The 'lost' is a state you once forgot you possessed. By imagining from the fulfilled state and feeling it as real, you invite the inner Savior to act, not by changing external events, but by reconfiguring your inner scene. Every moment you maintain that you are already complete, you align with the eternal, and the outer world reflects that alignment. The practical effect is trance-like assurance: you revise your assumption until the sensation of wholeness floods your system, and what you once perceived as lost returns as realized experience. The Son of Man enters your inner room as your own I AM, to redeem you where you forgot yourself.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling of being already whole, declare 'I am the Son of Man, I am saved,' then revise any sense of lack by playing the scene in which you know yourself as complete and let that inner state settle into your body.
