Matthew 19:23-30 - Possessions And The Kingdom
23 Jesus said to His disciples, "Truly I tell you, it is difficult for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I tell you, it is [actually] easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God."
25 When the disciples heard this, they were utterly amazed, saying, "Who then can [possibly] be saved?"
26 Jesus looked at them and said, "This would be impossible with men, but everything is possible with God."
27 Peter then answered Him, "Look, we have left everything [i.e., homes, jobs, family, etc.], to follow you. What will we get for it?"
28 Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you, [since] you have become my followers, in the time of new beginnings [i.e., the church age], when the Son of man sits on His glorious throne, you apostles will also sit on twelve thrones, judging [i.e., through their writings] the twelve tribes of Israel [i.e., God's people]. 29 And every person who has left his house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children or property, for my name's sake [i.e., to become a servant of the Lord], will receive [back] a hundred times as much [in this life] and will [also] inherit never ending life. 30 But many will be last [i.e., in importance and blessings] who [seem to] be first, and those [who seem to be] first will [end up] being last."
