Mat 28:16 | MHM | STEP | v. 16 : The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain Jesus had chosen for their meeting, as He had instructed them (Matthew 28:16 ). Although they had already seen Jesus in Jerusalem after His resurrection, they obeyed His command to travel to Galilee, demonstrating their trust and willingness to follow Him even when it required effort and faith. This gathering on the mountain prepared the way for a significant public meeting where Jesus would give His final instructions to His followers. v. 16–20 : At this meeting in Galilee, Jesus gave the Great Commission to His disciples, commanding them to make disciples of all nations, baptize them, and teach them to obey everything He had commanded (Matthew 28:16-20 ). He also promised His continual presence, saying, “I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” This final instruction affirms Jesus’ authority over all things and establishes the mission of the church to spread the gospel worldwide. The resurrection of Jesus confirms His victory over death and fulfills God’s promises, bringing hope and assurance to all who trust in Him.
