Did the Disciples ever have
“Buyer’s Remorse”?
They’d given up a lot!
(Matthew 4:18-22; Luke 5:27-28)

receive. (Matthew 19:21-27)

“receive a hundredfold
and will inherit eternal life.”

The Disciple’s Investment Strategy
Finding the Kingdom of
Heaven requires effort
(Matthew 7:7-8;
Deuteronomy 4:29)
Obtaining the Kingdom of
Heaven requires sacrifice
(Luke 14:33; Phil. 3:7-8)
The value of the Kingdom of
Heaven is unsurpassed
(Hebrews 12:28; Matthew
6:19-20; Ephesians 1:18)
"Do not fear, little flock,
for it is your Father's good
pleasure to give you the
kingdom. Sell what you
have and give alms;
provide yourselves money
bags which do not grow
old, a treasure in the
heavens that does not fail,
where no thief approaches
nor moth destroys.”
(Luke 12:32-33)
He is no fool
who gives up
what he cannot keep
to gain what
he may possess
forever.
