📚 Historical Context
This is part of Jesus' final instructions to his disciples before ascending to heaven, known as the Great Commission. After his resurrection, Jesus met with his eleven remaining disciples on a mountain in Galilee to give them their mission for spreading the gospel. This promise of his constant presence would have been especially meaningful since the disciples were about to face persecution and challenges in building the early church.
