about following Jesus

Matthew 19:29 (NLT) And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or property, for my sake, will receive a hundred times as much in return and will inherit eternal life.
I don’t think I’ve given up any of the above mentioned things. Any of them would be extremely difficult to give up.
30 But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.
This must mean that there are tons of people today with totally wrong values. Well, I guess that is obvious, but even well respected people with seemingly totally reasonable values will find one day that what they valued, and the admiration that other people awarded them, were totally valueless.
