Walk in humility (Matthew 19)

When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Then Peter answered and said to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?”
So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.

But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

Our Lord continues to address the people teaching and healing them.

In this chapter He first addresses marriage, divorce and celibacy.

He then continues and talks to a rich man who is saddened by the prospect of losing all his possessions.

Last He talks about the difficulty of the rich to enter His Kingdom.

When we choose to walk with our Lord we choose to belong to the Father.

All we are and all we have is the Father’s. I mean our person, possessions, gifts and talents.

If we happen to hold anything more important than our Lord and serving Him then the Kingdom will be a struggle for us.

Our Father is not against us being wealthy, but, when that is what we define ourselves by then it controls us and we become slaves to it and self-pride governs our behaviour. If we are slaves to anything other than the Father then we cannot truly commit to His teachings and live for Him.

But it is not all lost for we must remember what our Lord then says, for us as men this is impossible to do on our own but with the Help of the Father nothing is impossible. 
When we walk in the Lord’s power we are able to do things that we would not be able to do, become people we never imagined we could be.

The first will last and the last will be first. Even in the Kingdom we are warned about pride. 
We should never assume positions, allotments and rewards because we chose to walk with our Lord. Only the Father has the right to decide that.

The first will be last and the last will be first.
