will fail to receive many times more in this age—
This phrase emphasizes the promise of abundant blessings in the present life for those who sacrifice for the sake of the Kingdom of God. The context of this passage is Jesus' response to Peter, who noted that the disciples had left everything to follow Him. The promise of "many times more" suggests a principle of divine recompense, where God rewards those who prioritize His kingdom over worldly possessions. This echoes the principle found in Matthew 6:33, where seeking first the kingdom of God results in all necessary things being added to one's life. Historically, the early church experienced this through the communal sharing of resources, as seen in Acts 2:44-45. Theologically, this reflects the concept of God's providence and generosity, ensuring that His followers are cared for in this life.

and in the age to come, eternal life.”
This phrase shifts the focus from temporal blessings to the ultimate reward of eternal life. The "age to come" refers to the eschatological future, the time after the final judgment when God's kingdom is fully realized. Eternal life is a central theme in the New Testament, representing not just unending existence but a quality of life in perfect fellowship with God. This promise is consistent with Jesus' teachings in John 3:16 and John 10:28, where belief in Him leads to eternal life. Theologically, this underscores the hope of resurrection and the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan. It also connects to Old Testament prophecies, such as Daniel 12:2, which speaks of everlasting life for the righteous. The assurance of eternal life serves as a motivation for believers to endure present trials, knowing that their ultimate reward is secure in Christ.

Persons / Places / Events

Teaching Points
Sacrificial Living
Jesus calls His followers to a life of sacrifice, promising that what is given up for His sake will be rewarded many times over.

Eternal Perspective
Believers are encouraged to maintain an eternal perspective, valuing eternal life over temporary earthly gains.

Faith in God's Promises
Trust in God's promises is essential, as He assures us of both present and future blessings.

The Cost of Discipleship
Following Jesus may require significant personal sacrifices, but the rewards far outweigh the costs.

Community and Family in Christ
The promise of receiving "many times more" includes the spiritual family and community found in the body of Christ.(30) Who shall not receive manifold more.--Note, as again, perhaps, characteristic, the omission of the essentially Jewish image of the "sitting on twelve thrones" in St. Matthew, of the clause "with persecutions," in St. Mark, and of the words, "Many that are first shall be last . . ." which we find in both.
