Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 19:29

"And every one that hath left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name`s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life." — Matthew 19:29 (ASV)

No one will be a loser by the Lord Jesus in the long run. Everyone who has bravely forsaken the comforts of this life for Christ will receive a hundredfold recompense. Our Lord makes up to the persecuted for all that they part with for His sake.

Exiles for the truth have found a father and a brother in every Christian, a mother and a sister in every holy woman. Our Lord, by giving us His own love and the love of our fellow Christians, supplies a hundredfold compensation to those who have to leave wife or children for His sake. In being entertained hospitably by loving brethren, saints in banishment have had their houses and lands in a sense restored to them.

To be at home everywhere is a great gain, even though for Christ’s name’s sake we should be exiled from our native shores. Above all, in God we have a hundredfold recompense for all that we can possibly lose for His cause. Then, there is the eternal life given to us, which no mansions or estates could have procured for us.

In this faith, we look forward to the reign of the saints, when even here they will inherit the earth and rejoice in the abundance of peace. Beyond this, when time ceases, there remains endless bliss, for we will inherit everlasting life.

Oh, may we never hesitate to be glad losers for Jesus! They who lose all for Christ will find all in Christ and receive all with Christ.
