When Peter asked Jesus what he would receive in return for being a follower, probably expecting a monetary gift or a material gift, Jesus' answer most likely blew Peter away. Everlasting life, Jesus said. Not a house, not a phone, nothing immediate. Eternal life. As a follower, we too have the best gift of all to look forward to.
I imagine getting to Heaven, arriving at the gates, and Jesus welcoming me with open arms, telling me how much he loves me and cares for me. Getting to talk to him, ask him as many questions as my mind can think of, and forever. That's the best gift a follower can ask for.
