1 | Why did the disciples rebuke them? | Matt 19:29 | Makarios | 16260 | ||
Greetings Steve, No, I do not believe that this verse can be taken as an "ironclad" guarantee that we will be assured of monetary blessings. While it is true that the Lord will bless us even a hundredfold while we are on earth, the real blessings will be the result of the heavenly treasure that we have gained as sowers of His Word! "Shall receive a hundredfold—Viz. in this life, in value, though perhaps not in kind; and in the world to come everlasting life. A glorious portion for a persevering believer! The fullness of GRACE here, and the fullness of GLORY hereafter! See on Mark 10:30 (note)." (Adam Clarke's Commentary on the NT) "Shall receive a hundred-fold—Mark says “a hundred-fold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters,” etc. A hundred-fold means a hundred times as much. This is not to be understood literally, but that he will give what will be worth 100 times as much in the peace, and joy, and rewards of religion. It is also literally true that no man’s temporal interest is injured by the love of God. Mark adds, “with persecutions.” These are not promised as a part of the reward; but amid their trials and persecutions they should find reward and peace." (Barnes' Notes on the NT) Blessings, Nolan |
