Mark 10:28
Then Peter began to say to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You.”
Peter mentioned this to Jesus, probably wanted Him to understand the great sacrifices that he and his fellow disciples had made. Jesus assured them that they will be rewarded and there is an implication that such sacrifices are the least the disciples can do.
We also wondered that when people follow Jesus, is it for personal gain, even for their own personal salvation or something else. The something else should be the total surrender towards Jesus for His love's sake. To really know Jesus is to know His is the ultimate King and the response should be the total surrender to His Lordship. In doing this, we are surrendering all ourselves to Him and that includes all decisions and aspects of our life.
