In these uncertain and crazy times, we always ask “Why?” We search for truth and meaning, and at the same time question why are things so unfair. We only have to turn on the news for a few seconds to make us feel this way. If it were not for my Faith and my personal and close relationship with Jesus Christ, I would definitely feel uncertain and unsafe in this world. But we have God’s written promises to assure us. They assure us that even though mankind may fall short, all things are possible with God. And as far things being unfair, God reminds us about that too. “Many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.” This is very different than what we so often hear in the world. Rest assured when reading God’s Word today.
Matthew 19:23-30 ~ Possessions and the Kingdom
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “I assure you: It will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven! Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
When the disciples heard this, they were utterly astonished and asked, “Then who can be saved?”
But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Then Peter responded to Him, “Look, we have left everything and followed You. So what will there be for us?”
Jesus said to them, “I assure you: In the Messianic Age, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on 12 thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses, brothers or sisters, father or mother, children, or fields because of My name will receive 100 times more and will inherit eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
