Inner Jerusalem Awakening
Matthew 20:17-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus explains that their journey to Jerusalem will include betrayal and death for the Son of Man, but that on the third day he will rise again.
Neville's Inner Vision
Let the inner meaning unfold: the Jerusalem Jesus speaks of is your own advancing consciousness toward a higher state. The Son of Man is your I AM, the living self that stands beyond appearances. When the text says he will be betrayed, condemned, and handed over to Gentiles, read these as the breaking of old scripts—the egoic beliefs that judge, separate, and fear. The betrayal dissolves the familiar self; the condemnation dissolves the old sense of limitation. The scourging and crucifixion represent the crucifixion of old life, the death of lack, the fading of identifications you once trusted. The Gentiles are the outward worlds of circumstance and thought that mock your new state. Yet the third day, the rising, is the conscious recognition that you are the I AM here and now, and imagination is the law through which you realize that reality. Do not seek it as a distant event; feel yourself already free, and let your inner narrative govern your outer experience. The path is simply the movement of your own awareness toward wholeness and resurrection.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume you are the risen you now. Revise a scene of your day to reflect wholeness, and feel it real.
