Inner Greatness Through Service
Matthew 20:25-27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus contrasts worldly rulers who dominate with his call for greatness through service. True greatness in the Kingdom comes from ministering to others.
Neville's Inner Vision
Life does not pour from without into you; it echoes from within your I AM. When you hear Jesus dismiss the princes of the Gentiles, you are being reminded that authority in the Kingdom is not seized but assumed as a state of consciousness. The mind that claims dominion over others is only a temporary dream; the true 'great one' is the minister within you—moved by love, attentive to every impulse to serve. To be great is to choose the role of helper in your own inner world: to dissolve pride, to align your will with the service of harmony, and to let your imagination reveal a reality where love governs. As you dwell in that assumption, your outer life rearranges itself—not by coercion but by the spiritual law that you become who you believe you are. The I AM does not judge but loves, and by assuming you are the minister, you awaken the kingdom where you are chief not over others but over your own fear, ego, and separation.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the ministerial state: 'I am here to serve.' Feel that love moving through you, and let it guide your next action so you act as a servant-leader in your daily life.
