His use of "Look" indicates a desire for Jesus to pay attention to what he is about to say, suggesting the importance of his statement. This reflects Peter's bold and impulsive nature, seen throughout the Gospels, such as when he walks on water (Matthew 14:28-29) or declares Jesus as the Messiah (Matthew 16:16). "we have left all we had" "to follow You." Persons / Places / Events 1. PeterOne of Jesus' twelve apostles, known for his impulsive nature and deep devotion to Christ. Here, he speaks on behalf of the disciples, expressing their commitment to Jesus. 2. Jesus The central figure of the New Testament, the Son of God, and the Messiah. He is the one whom Peter and the other disciples have chosen to follow, leaving behind their previous lives. 3. The Disciples A group of Jesus' closest followers who have left their homes, families, and occupations to follow Him and learn from His teachings. 4. The Rich Young Ruler Although not directly mentioned in this verse, the context of Luke 18 includes the account of the rich young ruler, whose encounter with Jesus prompts Peter's statement. This ruler was unable to part with his wealth to follow Jesus. 5. The Kingdom of God The central theme of Jesus' teaching, representing God's reign and rule, both in the present and future. The disciples' commitment to Jesus is a commitment to the Kingdom of God. Teaching Points Sacrificial CommitmentFollowing Jesus often requires significant personal sacrifice. Like the disciples, believers are called to prioritize their relationship with Christ above all else. Eternal Perspective The sacrifices made in this life for the sake of Christ are not in vain. Jesus promises eternal rewards for those who faithfully follow Him. Trust in God's Provision Leaving everything to follow Jesus requires trust in God's provision. Believers can be assured that God will meet their needs as they seek His Kingdom first. Evaluating Priorities This passage challenges believers to evaluate what they are holding onto that might hinder their full commitment to Christ. Encouragement in Discipleship Peter's statement and Jesus' response serve as encouragement for those who have made sacrifices for their faith, affirming that their efforts are recognized and valued by God.(28-30) Then Peter said, . . .--See Notes on Matthew 19:27-30; Mark 10:28. The better MSS. have, "We have left our own (possessions)." "All" was probably substituted from a recollection of the words as found in the other reports.Verse 28. - Then Peter said, Lo, we hays left all, and followed thee. Again the question of Peter, evidently acting as spokesman of the twelve, is repeated by the first three evangelists. Strangely faithful in their accounts of their own dealings with their adored Master, they never veil or hide any human weakness or error of their own which led to an important bit of teaching from their Lord. Now, in this place, they, in the person of Peter, gave utterance to a very worldly, but a very natural, thought. The ruler had failed when the test was applied to him; he was a conspicuous example of failure in the rich to enter the kingdom. But they had not failed when the test had been applied to them; they had given all up for his sake: what would be their reward? Parallel Commentaries ...
