There is still one thing you lack. If you wish to be perfect, go and sell everything you own and distribute the money to the poor and
you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, and follow me.

many possessions.

NARRATOR.
Jesus looked around, looked at the man and then said to his disciples:
JESUS.
How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the Kingdom of God. I tell you most sincerely, it will be very hard for a rich man to
enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
NARRATOR.
The disciples were astounded at these words, but Jesus insisted:
JESUS.
My Children, how hard is it for a person who is rich and trusts in his riches to enter the kingdom of God! I will tell you again, it is
easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
NARRATOR.
They were more astonished than ever.
DISCIPLES. [To each other]
In that case, who can be saved then?
NARRATOR.
Looking at them he said:
JESUS.
For men, this is impossible; but not for God, because everything is possible for God. Things that are impossible for men, are possible
for God.
Matthew 19:23-26; Mark 10:23-27; Luke 18:24-27

The Reward of Those Following Christ
PETER.
What about us? We've left everything and have followed you. What are we to have then?
JESUS.
I tell you most sincerely, in the regeneration, when everything is made new and the Son of Man sits on his throne of glory, you will
also sit on twelve thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel. There is no one who has left house, wife, brothers, sisters, father,
mother, children or land for the sake of my name, the Kingdom of God and the gospel that will not be given repayment a hundred
times over, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and land—not with out persecutions—now in this present time, and in the
world to come, also inherit eternal life.
Matthew 19:27-29; Mark 10:28-30; Luke 18:28-30
