Commentators emphasize that the Greek word for "send forth" (ekballō) means to "thrust out" or "drive out." This isn't a gentle suggestion but a powerful divine compulsion. Scholars like Spurgeon and Calvin stress that only God can raise up and send authentic, effective ministers, contrasting them with ineffective "man-made" ones. The call to ministry is a divine initiative, and believers should pray for God to sovereignly compel people into His service.
