From the sermon Giving Up to Get

From the sermon

Anyone can give up to get.

Scripture · Matt.19.29

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.

Reflect and pray

Jesus widens the promise from the Twelve to everyone who leaves anything for his name. Houses, family, lands—losses that sting deeply—are noted by heaven. The reward is not a mathematical exchange but a hundredfold inheritance in the age to come. If you have been ostracized or deprived because of loyalty to Christ, take heart. Your loss is known, and eternal life is yours. Rest in that promise.
