Mark 10:31

"but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time: houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land, with persecutions; and in the age to come eternal life."

Key Reflection

This verse suggests that those who forsake worldly possessions and family ties for Jesus will receive a hundredfold increase in blessings during this life, including material wealth and spiritual support, but also face persecutions. Ultimately, they will inherit eternal life in the age to come.
