Matthew 10 is one of those chapters you don’t just read — you absorb it.
It’s not a quiet chapter.
It’s not a soft chapter.
It’s not a “sit back and relax” chapter.
Matthew 10 is the moment Jesus looks at twelve very human, very flawed, very normal men… and sends them into an unpredictable world with world-changing authority, purpose, and power.
It’s the moment when disciples become leaders.
When followers become ambassadors.
When students become warriors for the Kingdom of Heaven.
This is not just their story.
This is your story too.
Before we walk through the chapter verse by verse and open up the depth, tension, fire, beauty, and harsh reality of what Jesus is telling His disciples, I want to invite you to explore teachings like this across my channel.

Matthew begins with something that looks deceptively simple:
Jesus calls the twelve disciples and gives them authority.
That word — authority — is everything.
