Affected Teaching
Here Jesus is giving a teaching that those who have forsaken all the things
which they love and are familiar with for His sake, will receive an hundredfold
more in this life. The amount “hundredfold” is an open ended number and the Lord
is basically stating that the blessings of the Christian life are without
number. When the Lord speaks of forsaking family, He is not advocating leaving
without any communication with their earthly family but He is stating that the
Christian must seek the eternal family above the earthly family and if they are
the only ones saved in that family, then their outlook on life is going to be
different than the unsaved ones and their worldly outlook must also be forsaken.
If you notice in the text, the Lord also mentions forsaking a wife. This does
not mean that a man is to forsake his wife because that would be in violation of
the Scriptures. What is in view here is a man forsaking the institution of
marriage, exchanging the married life for the life in service to Christ.
(Matthew 19:12 KJV) For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their
mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and
there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's
sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
