Commentators emphasize that the word 'must' signifies a divine necessity. John Gill and the Expositor's Bible Commentary explain this is not a mere suggestion but a core part of God's sovereign will and Christ's commission. The verse serves as a mandate, shifting the focus from anxiously looking for signs of the end to actively participating in God's mission to the world.
