William Barclay (The Gospel of Matthew, vol. 1, p. 368):
"Jesus still wants men to hear of the good news of the gospel, but men will never hear unless other men will tell them. Jesus Christ wants a child taught; that child will never be taught unless a teacher emerges to teach him. Jesus Christ wants all me to hear the good news; men will never hear it unless there are those who are prepared to cross the seas and the mountains and bring the good news to them...
"It is the dream of Christ that every man should be a missionary and a reaper. There are those who cannot do other than pray, for life has laid them helpless, and their prayers are indeed the strength of the laborers. But that is not the way for most of us, for those of us who have strength of body and health of mind. Not even the giving of our money is enough. If the harvest of men is ever to be reaped, then every one of us must be a reaper, for there is someone whom each one of us could--and must--bring to God."
