In
Scripture, we always see “Andrew” bringing someone to Jesus. In the
book of John (1:42), Andrew first brings his own brother “Simon
Peter” to Jesus; then as we read on in chapter six, he brings a
young lad to Jesus as well. In chapter twelve Andrew is bringing
yet some others who’s desire was to see Jesus.
The name
“Andrew” means to be “enduring" and/or "brave”, and its no wonder. The anointing of
God was visible in Andrew’s life and he not only spent time with
Jesus, but he continually was telling others about the long awaited
Messiah. This took not only "endurance", but in many
instances, bravery.
Considering
this, my thoughts are directed to my own relationship with Christ.
In what ways am I an “Andrew”? Or perhaps what the question should
be, “am I an ‘Andrew’ at all”? When was the last time that I
brought someone to meet Jesus? In what ways am I allowing Him to use
me in His ministry?
This same
question is the one that I am posing to you today. Are you an
Andrew? Are you applying the anointing that God has provided for
you, to bring someone to meet Jesus? As you examine your own heart,
won’t you allow the Holy Spirit the freedom to guide you daily as
you “go and tell”….
