The Servant Heart Within

Luke 22:24-27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 22 in context

Scripture Focus

24And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
25And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
26But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
27For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
Luke 22:24-27

Biblical Context

The disciples argue about who is greatest; Jesus reframes greatness as servanthood, declaring the greatest should be like the youngest and the chief a servant.

Neville's Inner Vision

That scene in Luke is not a history lesson but a mirror for your own heart. The strife over greatness is a state of consciousness, a disagreement inside you between wanting to rule and wanting to be useful. The so-called kings who lord it over others are your ego’s need to control outcomes; they are not your true self. Your I AM, the awareness that you are, does not inherit power by conquest but by service. When you confront, 'the greatest among you let him be as the younger, and he that is chief, as he that doth serve,' you are being invited to awaken to a royal premise: leadership is the art of making others feel supported and free. The one who serves is not diminished; in truth he is expanding the kingdom of God within. So you revise the scene within: you accept the role of the servant, you feel your attention drawn to the act of service rather than the throne. As you persist in the feeling that you are the I AM present in that humble posture, the outer world rearranges to reflect a trustworthy, serving nature. This is not mere humility; it is the realization of power as service.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise a moment when you seek greatness; see yourself serving at table, or pouring water, and feel the I AM as the servant-king within.
