SCRIPTURE

"Then answered Peter and said unto him, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee; what then shall we have?" — Matthew 19:27 (ASV)

We have forsaken all. Probably nothing but their fishing nets, small boats, and cottages. But they were their all; their living, their home. And forsaking them, they had shown their sincerity as genuinely, as though they had possessed the gold of Ophir and dwelt in the palaces of kings.

What shall we have therefore? We have done as you commanded this young man to do. What reward may we expect for it?
