27 Peter answered him, "We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?"
28 Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. 30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.”
Matthew 19:27-30
This life that we live is just the beginning of a much grander time when all things will be made new and your work here on earth that you do in the name of Jesus will be rewarded in full, beyond your wildest dreams. Today, Jesus wants your everything; your time and talents; your energy and focus; your heart and mind; your best of the best. Today, Jesus is looking for servants that would lay down their lives in such a way that His love could be reflected and His amazing work and glory could be seen by others who do not yet know Him as their Savior. Surrender your all today, even if that means being last in the world’s eyes as one day very soon you will be rewarded a hundred times over by the loving touch of the One who set you free!
