"Anyone who loves
his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who
loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and
anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of
me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life
for my sake will find it.
(Matthew 10:37-39 NIV)
"I tell you the truth," Jesus replied,
"no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother
or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail
to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers,
sisters, mothers, children and fields ~ and with them, persecutions)
and in the age to come, eternal life. But many who are first will
be last, and the last first."
(Mark 10:29-31 NIV)
