🌙 Matthew 10

Matthew 10 is a real chapter from the New Testament. It starts, “He called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.” Matthew 10 opens with these words: “He called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and…” The line to keep is Matthew 10:5: “Jesus sent these twelve out, and commanded them, saying, “Don’t go among the Gentiles, and don’t enter into any city of the Samaritans.” Carry the word “jesus” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Matthew 10:5: “Jesus sent these twelve out, and commanded them, saying, “Don’t go among the Gentiles, and don’t enter into any city of the Samaritans.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Matthew 10? Then try this: Read “Jesus sent these twelve out, and commanded them, saying, “Don’t go among the Gentiles, and don’t enter into…” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
