Thank you for joining us here at Chapel City Church. We hope that you will reach out with any questions that you might have, or let us know how we can be ministering to you during this time. As we come to the end of Matthew 19, Peter asks a question that might seem inappropriate. “Lord, what is there for us?” He had just seen a rich young man refuse to give up his wealth for the sake of the King and his kingdom. But the disciples had abandoned everything to follow after Jesus. So what could they expect? What about us? What should we expect if we are willing to “seek first the kingdom?” Rather than rebuke Peter, Jesus reminds him of some precious promises. Promises that remind us that this coming kingdom is nothing like the kingdoms of the world, and that it is worth anything we might forsake to find it.
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
