Day 57 - Chapter 10, Verses 28-31


Peter began to say to him, "We have given up everything and followed you."

Jesus said, "Amen, I say to you, there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my sake and for the sake of the gospel who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age: houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come. But many that are first will be last, and (the) last will be first."

As this journey to Jerusalem continues, note who is last and who is first. What does discipleship cost the these ancient followers? What does it cost us?
