When you consider Andrew in the Scriptures, what comes to mind? There is no record in Scripture of Andrew preaching a sermon, or performing a miracle. There is no book of the Bible written by Andrew.
So why is Andrew a Hero of the Faith? Why should Andrew be a good role model for ourselves?
Well, in John Chapter 1 we read that "Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, "We have found the Messiah" (that is, the Christ). And he brought him to Jesus."
Andrew brought Peter to Christ!
In the story of the feeding of the five thousand, it was Andrew who found the boy "with five small barley loaves and two small fish." And what did Andrew do? He brought the boy to Jesus!
Jesus tells us to go and make disciples. Our task is not to convict anyone of their sin. Nor is it our task to make people do what they should. Our responsibility is to bring people to Jesus. Just like Andrew did. God will then perform His divine work in their lives.
