In Matthew 28:10, Jesus is speaking to his followers after His resurrection, telling them not to be afraid and to inform the disciples that they will see Him again in Galilee.

Explained for Children

Imagine you lost your favorite toy but found it under a bed. You'd tell all your friends where to look so they could see it too. That's what Jesus is doing here—he’s telling his friends where he’ll be, so they can find him and not feel scared anymore.

Historical Background

The Gospel of Matthew was written by the apostle Matthew around AD 80-90 for a primarily Jewish audience. This verse comes right after the resurrection accounts, providing instructions to Jesus' followers within the context of the early Christian community.

Living It Out Today

Imagine you're leading an important project and things seem hopeless. Just like how Jesus told his disciples not to be afraid and that they would see him again, trust in divine guidance can help you face challenges with confidence and hope.
