<p>9:38<em>&nbsp;Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest</em>- The Lord is praying that the time of the great commission, the sending forth of God's people worldwide to reap the harvest, would be hastened. But it had to wait until after the Lord's resurrection because the disciples were not yet mature enough for it. The Lord&nbsp;<em>prayed</em>&nbsp;and urged others to pray, that the great commission would be given as soon as possible. With what eagerness, therefore, does He watch our fulfilment of it; and with what sadness therefore does He observe our negligence and even denial of it.</p>
