Observe here, the lenity and kindness of our Lord's gracious answer: he tells his disciples, that they who had left all and followed him, should be no losers by him; that is, in this world they shall receive manifold; says an hundred-fold; Mark 10:30 but how so? "Not in kind, but in equivalency:" not an hundred brethren, and sisters, and possessions, in kind; but he shall enjoy all that in God, which all creatures would be to him, if they were multiplied. hundred times. Oh the santifying gifts and saving graces, the supporting comforts and ravishing consolations, of the Holy Spirit, are. sufficient compensation for any thing, for all, yea, for more than all, that we can part with for the sake of Christ.
