       Let’s quickly look at a passage in Matthew 19 about this: "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first” (Matthew 19:29-30, ESV). So, every sacrifice that is made in this life will be reimbursed many times over—a hundredfold, as Jesus has said. And let’s think about what this might look like. If we have given up relationships for Jesus’ name, we know that in the future we will have many more intimate, close relationships for all eternity with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, and not to mention our intimate relationship with Jesus himself. We will have close relationships with both people we helped lead to Christ, and with other believers, both those whom we know in this life, and those who lived at other times. And not only that, but also we will have our own residence, and abundance in possessions—many things that meet our hearts desires.
