Inner Path to the Kingdom

Matthew 16:24-28 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 16 in context

Scripture Focus

24Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
28Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Matthew 16:24-28

Biblical Context

Jesus invites his disciples to deny the old self, take up the cross, and follow him. The passage contrasts earthly gain with the life of the inner soul, the kingdom within.

Neville's Inner Vision

To come after me is to shift your identification from the ego self to the I AM within. Denying the self is releasing identification with fear, pride, and lack; taking up the cross is agreeing to the inner discipline of imaginative revision until the feeling of the desired state saturates your being. Following me means letting imagination govern your life rather than outer appearances. Whosoever would save his life in the old state shall lose it; to lose life for my sake is to find the life of God as you. What profit is there in chasing the world while the soul remains asleep? The Son of Man shall come in the glory of the Father with his angels, and the inner revival occurs when you awaken to the kingdom within. Some standing here may not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom — a present reality when you align your inward state with divine government and act from that state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state you desire as already present; feel the kingdom's reality fill you, and then act from that assured inner position.
