Jesus responds to all this. He doesn’t tell them to just grit their teeth and wait for the age to come when it will finally be worth it. No. Jesus shows them it will be worth it even in this life. Whatever someone might have to leave behind to follow him, he will replace, in godly kind and far greater measure. Even those who leave whole family networks behind for the sake of Jesus will receive back from him vastly more—a hundredfold.
