Inner Kingship in Luke 23:2-5

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that the 'accusations' are not about politics but about states of consciousness clashing with new inner rule. The claim that 'this fellow perverts the nation' mirrors your mind resisting a higher government because it would alter familiar habits. The question 'Art thou the King of the Jews?' becomes your inner check: 'Do I grant the I AM the throne of my life?' When Jesus replies, 'Thou sayest it,' you are affirming that the true king is the I AM—the awareness that governs from within, not by tribute or outward power. Pilate's 'I find no fault' is your inner verdict of non-resistance to truth when it enters as your own feeling of decisiveness. The crowd's fierce assertion that he stirs up all Jewry translates to the fear that a new kingdom in you will disrupt the status quo. Yet the inner reality persists: the Kingdom of God is not a place on earth but an authoritative state within your consciousness. Thus, Luke 23:2-5 invites you to witness how your being recognizes the inner king and names the outer events as reflections of inner movements.
