Weby Desig - Bible Verse

Peter said to Jesus, “We left everything to follow you!”
Jesus said, “I tell you the truth. Every person that has left
his home, brothers, sisters, mother, father, children, or
farm for me and for the Good News will get a hundred times
more than he left. Here in this world that person will get
more homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and farms.
And with those things, that person will have persecutions.
But he will also have a reward in the world that is coming.
That reward is life forever.” — Mark 10:28-30 (ERV)

KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus is basically promising three things in this Scripture. First, he
is saying that the disciples — and we who follow Jesus today — can’t
out give God. God will bless them and us far more than we could ever
give up for him. Second, that doesn’t mean that followers of Jesus will
have easy lives on this side of eternity — there will be persecutions.
Finally, he promises eternal life. In other words, their sacrifices for
their faith will be far overshadowed by the blessings they will receive
from their Father in heaven.

TODAY’S PRAYER:
O Father, thank you for being so generous. I know that I will be
blessed far more than I can imagine as one of your children. Help me
not to lose that hope in the face of hardship, discouragement, and
persecution. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
