Getting the Conversation Going . . .

From a previous daily reading . . .

Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel's sake, but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life." (Mark 10:29-30)

What does these verses mean - especially the "along with persecutions"? It seems like a funny repayment for leaving your home, loved one and land. Any thoughts on this?
