Servant Leadership Within You

Luke 22:25-27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 22 in context

Scripture Focus

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 22:25-27

Biblical Context

Jesus contrasts Gentile rulers with his followers, saying true greatness is found in serving others rather than ruling. He identifies himself as one who serves, inviting us to embody humble, practical service as the key to the kingdom within.

Neville's Inner Vision

The passage presents outer power as a mirror of an inner posture. The kings who exercise lordship embody a separated I; the true greatness Jesus points to is the state of service—a movement of the I AM toward others, dissolving the illusion of dominance. When you claim, ‘I am among you as one who serves,’ you are naming the function of your inner consciousness: to render power through love, attention, and service rather than control. In Neville’s terms, this is a revision of your state of consciousness: you shift from scarcity and comparison to being the vessel through which divine energy serves. By perceiving yourself as the servant, you align with the law that imagination creates reality; your world bends to reflect a heart at service. Make serving your practice and your state of being, and you will witness the inner kingdom emerge as your outer life becomes a living expression of humble power.

Practice This Now

Assume the state: I am the one who serves. Visualize a simple scene of you gently serving someone and feel the warmth of that service until it becomes your baseline.
