What Does This Mean?

Matthew 28:1 tells us that just after the Sabbath ended and it was starting to get light on Sunday morning, Mary Magdalene and another woman named Mary went to visit Jesus' tomb. No one is speaking in this verse; it simply describes what happened.

Explained for Children

Imagine it's early Sunday morning when you wake up from a long weekend of rest. Two women, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, were like friends waking up after the Sabbath day to go see Jesus' resting place just like how you might visit someone who is sick or away.

Historical Background

This verse was written by Matthew, one of Jesus’ disciples, probably around 60-80 AD. He wrote it for both Jewish and Gentile Christians to understand the significance of Jesus' resurrection. The culture at that time heavily relied on oral traditions and religious leaders interpreting texts.

Living It Out Today

Today, we might apply this verse by considering how important it is to visit loved ones, especially those who are in need or have passed away. Just as these women made a priority of visiting the tomb, making time for our loved ones can be a meaningful act of love and respect.
