Most often this is quoted in relation to earthly or material benefits, but verse 11 speaks about those to whom the mysteries of the Kingdom of heaven were given! Jesus is talking to his disciples to whom he spoke the mysteries of the Kingdom of heaven in parables!
Speaking in the context of today's times, we who profess to be 'in the church', who spend time in prayer meetings; let us yearn for abundance of the understanding of the mysteries of His Kingdom and seriously pray for more of it and not to loose what have been given !! We read in Hosea "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children." Let us not be like the Israelites instead be submissive to learn at the feet of Jesus so as to pick from the mystery and knowledge of His Kingdom and desire for more!!
