The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell
him, "We have found the Messiah" (that is, the Christ).
—John 1:41
Andrew was one of the first people to hear John the Baptist claim Jesus
as the "Lamb of God". He immediately goes and talks with Jesus.
That encounter was to change his life forever, but it was to impact the
world even greater. He goes and tells his brother, Peter, about Jesus.
Often in scriptures, Andrew comes in second as far as recognition. He
never writes a book of the Bible, and he is never mentioned in the Book of
Acts. This does not seem to faze him, for his passion in life was to tell
others about Jesus. It was his first priority. His wish was for them to
have their hearts set Ablaze! with the love of God and the
knowledge of Jesus as their Messiah.
I often wonder what impact our communities would see if we had a whole
church full of people with the heart of Andrew. They would be making
friends with all kinds people and introducing them to Jesus one at a time.
What a blessing it would be for the church if each of us would see Jesus
the way Andrew did and want to share Him with the same passion. For the
fire of Christ's love is set Ablaze! in the hearts of people
one at a time.
As we learn more about Jesus, let us pray about who we can share it
with. Then go tell them about Jesus and give them that knowledge that
Jesus is the "lamb of God."
