Meet the Apostles: Andrew

Meet the Apostles: Andrew by ric Gustafson


Andrew was a quiet man who has a major distinction. He was the first disciple called by Jesus. He introduced his brother Simon Peter to Jesus.
Andrew was a follower of John the Baptist. According to John 1:29, one day John pointed at Jesus and declared " look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world". That same day, Andrew became a follower of Jesus.
Andrew became a buffer between Jesus and crowds. He told Jesus about the meager provisions that they had to feed a hungry crowd of over five thousand. It was Andrew and Philip who approached Jesus about a delegation of Greek visitors according to John 12: 20-26
Many scholars believe that Andrew and Peter paired together for ministry excursions.
