Superscription of Inner Kingship
Luke 23:38 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Luke 23:38 places a multi-language inscription over Jesus: 'THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.' Symbolically, it marks a royal claim that mirrors the inner state of consciousness you can awaken: the kingship of God within.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the superscription as not an external placard nailed to a cross, but an inner assertion you choose in this moment. The 'King' is not a political title, but the I AM, the steady awareness that rules your inner weather. When you study the sign, you are learning that all authority in your world flows from the consciousness you identify as your own. The verse does not demand surrender to a distant king; it invites you to embody that kingship now, by imagining and feeling from your inner throne. The outer scene—two or three languages, a sign above a suffering body—becomes the mirror of your own inner language and your own readiness to command your experience. In Neville's terms, you revise your sense of self until you feel as the King would feel: sovereign, peaceful, unshaken by appearances. Your task is to align your present consciousness with that royal state and allow the outer world to reflect that inner decree.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare mentally, 'This is the King of the Jews'—or better, 'I AM the King of my life now.' Then feel the authority, imagine ruling from your inner throne, and let that reality re-create your surroundings.
