[28] Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee. [29] And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, [30] Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

In contrast to the rich ruler who refused to leave his riches and follow Jesus, the disciples had “left all.” Jesus now promises them and us that anyone who puts God first in their lives, above not only riches but any possessions and any family member or friend, will receive “life everlasting.” Jesus also promised that we would receive “manifold more” in this present time. This would not necessarily mean more “possessions,” but blessings from God in many other ways such as health, happiness, etc.
