What Shall We Have?

The sermon centers on the profound truth that those who forsake all to follow Jesus will receive rewards far exceeding their greatest expectations, rooted in God's sovereign grace rather than human effort. Drawing from the encounter with the rich young ruler and Peter's question about compensation, it emphasizes that salvation is impossible by human means but possible only through God's power, as affirmed in Jesus' declaration that 'with God all things are possible.' The passage reveals that the apostles' future reward includes a unique role in judging Israel during the regeneration, while all who leave anything for Christ's sake will receive a hundredfold in spiritual blessings—new family, community, and eternal life—now and in fullness to come, even amidst persecution. The sermon underscores that the kingdom of God inverts worldly values, where the last become first and the humble are exalted, and calls believers to pursue Christ not for gain but out of gratitude, knowing that God's rewards surpass imagination and are secured by His grace alone.
