John 1:40-41 "One of the two who heard John speak, and followed HIM (Jesus) was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (Which is translated, the Christ).
We don't hear near as much about Andrew throughout the rest of John's Gospel much less the Bible... however Peter has a great deal of influence both upon the other disciples as well as the early church. We so often read and consider Peter's triumphs as well as short comings and can be encouraged and amazed at how God used him in the book of Acts while Andrew seems to be missing... though he was not. It is interesting that Peter began to follow Jesus because his brother, Andrew, shared with him. His roll great or small, seen or unseen, effected the rest of his brothers life and ministry as well as the establishment of the NT churches. Don't hesitate to share with those whom you know about the Christ... Jesus. You never know what might happen or the influence you may have... after all Andrew was "just" his brother.
