The way to obtain a sure and great Reward. SERM. III.
Matth. 19. 28. And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye which have followed me in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my Name sake, shall receive an hundred-fold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
IN this Scripture we have our Saviours answer unto Peters question propounded at ver. 27. Behold Lord (saith Peter) we have forsaken all, and followed thee: what shall we have therefore? Our Saviour answers in the following verses; and his answer is partly Comfortable, and partly Cautional. The Cautional part I have spoken to among ⟨p. 60⟩some of you, from vers. 30. But many that are first shall be last, and the last shall be first. The Comfortable part I spake unto the last Lords day in another Meeting. And being now desired to speak the same things unto you, considering that they are of present and universal concernment, I shall do it as briefly and plainly as I can.
