The Servant Within
Matthew 20:28 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Matthew 20:28 declares that the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, offering his life as a ransom for many. It emphasizes that true greatness is found in service, not status.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, in this line you are invited to see the I AM behind the figure of Jesus and to hear an inner command: I am not sustained by the world's praise, I sustain the world by service through my consciousness. The 'Son of Man' is your inner identity waking in the form of action. When you imagine yourself as the one who serves, you are not performing for others; you are aligning with the principle that your awareness does the ministering. The 'ransom' is a release from the belief that you are separate from life; choosing to serve redefines sacrifice as the freeing of consciousness from fear and need. If you dwell in the feeling that you must be served, you reproduce that separation; if you feel the I AM serving through you, the world responds as a melody of demand is answered by supply. Your task is to awaken into the world of inner ministry, where attention becomes action and desire flows through you as service.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are serving with unwavering I AM presence; feel-it-real the scene of giving attention and aid, until that service feels as natural as your own being.
