Matthew 19

I like Peter's boldness. He says what's on his mind. Sometimes it gets him in trouble, remember the rooster? And sometimes he gets kudos from it, like when he declared that Jesus was the Christ. In Matthew 19:27 following the departure of the young rich man Peter asks, "See, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?" instead of getting rebuked this time, Jesus gives him an answer.

• He will receive a hundredfold
• He will inherit eternal life

I like thinking about heaven. This is the hope that encourages me daily as I work through the joys and challenges of living for Jesus. SWC
