Unbounded Forgiveness Within

Matthew 18:21-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 18 in context

Scripture Focus

21Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Matthew 18:21-22

Biblical Context

Peter asks how many times to forgive. Jesus replies that forgiveness is not limited, but limitless.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your brother's sin against you is never outside of your own inner state. When Peter asks for a limit, Jesus lifts the question from the external scene into your realm of consciousness, declaring that forgiveness must be without measure. In this text, the offender is a symbol of a pattern you still entertain. You imagine a reality in which you hold a grievance, and in the very act of holding it, you imprison your own light. Seventy times seven is not a number to tally; it is a reminder that you must repeatedly choose the state of mercy until it has become your habitual I AM. To forgive is to acknowledge that you and the other are expressions of the same divine consciousness, and thus the 'sin' is merely a misalignment that your awareness can quickly correct. By shifting your inner assumption—seeing yourself as whole, unoffendable, and merciful—you rewrite the scene and draw the other into your inner Kingdom.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, assume you have already forgiven fully; say 'I am forgiveness itself' and feel the relief settle into your body; then see the other as a fresh manifestation of the I AM.
