Luke 18:31

"who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.”"

Key Reflection

In Luke 18:31, Jesus speaks to his disciples about the nature of divine reward and eternal life. The original audience, being Jewish, would recognize the promise of "many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life" as a fulfillment of the covenant blessings promised in the Torah and prophets. This verse reflects the expectation that those who faithfully follow Jesus will not only receive salvation but also abundant blessings both now and eternally, underscoring the transformative power of faith and obedience in the eyes of God.

They predicted that certain things would take place respecting the Messiah that was to come. See Barnes "Da 9:25, also Da 9:26-27; See Barnes "Isa 53:1".
