Verse by Verse Breakdown- Matthew 10:28-32

So this was something I typed up for one of the S.W.A.G kids. She had a question about some scripture that comes out of the New Testimant book of Matthew. I just wanted to share this with you guys. Chances are if she had that question there are more of you out there who have it to.

Matthew 19:28-32

Verse by Verse Breakdown

“Do not fear those who can kill the body and can not kill the soul.” (28A)

-         The world and the devil can both kill our body. Do not fear them because they do not have the ability to kill our souls.

“ Rather be afraid of the one who can destroy both the body and the soul in hell.” (28B)

-         God is the only one with the power to condemn us to hell and to destroy our soul. We are told to fear God. Fearing God is mentioned many times such as in Ecclesiastes 12:13 , Luke 1:50 and Psalms 33:8.

“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?” (29A)

-         This is just stating that sparrows were not worth very much.

“Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.” (29B)

-         Even though they were not worth much value God still never let them fall to the ground and away from His care.

“And even the vary hairs of your head are all numbered.” (30)

-         God knows everything about us. Down to the number of hairs on our heads.

“So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” (31)

-         God values sparrows that are of little value in the world. He will not let them fall. It is stated that we are worth more than the sparrows. That means God values us immensely and will not let us fall before him.

“Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my father in Heaven.” (32)

-         Its simple. Accept Jesus and acknowledge him now and he will acknowledge us when the time of is His father is to come.

“But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in Heaven.” (33)

-         If we disown Jesus right now before our peers and friend he will disown us when the time comes for His father to bring judgment upon us.

If you look in Luke 12 you will also find this same scripture. Its worded a little differently but the exact same thing is being expressed.

Basically Fear God not the devil or world. We are very valuable to God and he will protect us. :) 

Hope this helps explain things a little better! :)

 God Bless <3
