Peter said, "Behold, we have forsaken all, and
followed thee; what shall we have therefore?"
Matthew 19:27

His question, after hearing Jesus' words to the
young ruler must have sounded disappointing.
It dashed their hopes. Were all their sacrifices
for nothing?

Jesus could have shown the disciples that
they received more than they had givien up.
OR He could have shown them that they had
given up very little. Peter was a poor fisherman;
he had only given up a boat and net. Granted
it was little, but all he had so Jesus didn't take
it lightly.
