Although the elder of the two brothers, Andrew is mentioned before Peter only once (v.44) in scripture. He had just seen the Lamb of God (v.36). Andrew missed his evening meal to witness and (in the original) insisted that Peter follow. One commentator said the word ?findeth? indicates that Andrew could not rest until he made sure Peter met the Lord. He didn?t get into a theological discussion; he simply shared his joy. Spurgeon said, ?He didn?t communicate this fact to Peter halfheartedly, but enthusiastically.? ?We have found the (Hebrew) Messiah!? Literally the anointed one, Isaiah 61:1. The (Greek) Christ pointed to the future Davidic Kingdom. Robertson says, ?The original language indicates John observed Andrew?s persistence and then found his own brother.?

After Peter?s preaching and the thousands saved at Pentecost, Andrew must have felt like Edward Kimball, the shoe salesman who led Dwight L. Moody to Christ. Moody went on to stir people on two continents to God.

Andrew didn?t seem jealous of Peter, I Corinthians 13:4. Too many won?t play in the band unless they have the first chair. He thought more of service than reputation.

AND PRIMUS SUCKS!!
