Matthew 19:29 - And every one that hath forsaken houses ... or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
PULPIT QUIP: "God refuses to become a debtor to any man!" (Missionary David H. Hillis)
Application: Giving / Tithing / Missions / Sacrifice / Loss within God's will, etc.
Same note at parallel Gospels, Mark 10:29-30; Luke 18:29-30. Also at Philippians 4:19 (in context) and at Job chapter 42.
