Inner Jordan Baptism

Matthew 3:13-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 3 in context

Scripture Focus

13Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
14But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
15And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
Matthew 3:13-15

Biblical Context

Jesus comes to be baptized by John, and John hesitates. Jesus insists that it must be done to fulfill all righteousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jesus here is the I AM in you moving from Galilee the ordinary self toward the Jordan of inner feeling. Johns protest mirrors the ego doubt the moment you resist purification. Jesus answers Suffer it to be so now for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. This is an inner decision consent to the law of consciousness that already orders all things so that your inner state and outward experience walk in step. The Jordan is your emotional current the cleansing of the river dissolves the old self Galilee is daily life and limited perception. When you assent to the inner demand to be baptized you acknowledge and cooperate with the deeper righteousness that governs your life. The us denotes unity of inner and outer purification is an inner act that translates as order clarity and true action. To fulfil righteousness means to align your present feeling with truth letting your I AM govern what you experience. Then the outward world follows the inner revelation and you live as if the rite has already been performed.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place your hand on your chest, and feel the Jordan cleansing current washing through you. Assume you are already baptized by the life of I AM, and let that inner state govern your next thought, word, and action.
