Bringing to Jesus

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, may have been somewhat overshadowed by his outspoken brother, but he had his own God-given talents. For one thing, he had been a follower of John the Baptist and at one point went to his brother to tell him they had found the Messiah (see John 1:40-42), and they both went to find Jesus. This changed their lives forever.

It was also Andrew who brought forth the young boy who had the food Jesus would bless and share with thousands (See John 6:8-9). Another time, Andrew brought a group of Greeks to Jesus. The men had approached Philip and asked to see Jesus, and Philip took them to Andrew. Andrew and Philip together escorted them to Jesus (see John 12:20-22).

Followers of Christ should seek to bring others to Him. If we love others as we are commanded, we'll want to share the good news of salvation with them. We produce fruit and live victorious lives when we bring others to Jesus, and we don't have to do this on our own. We have the power of the Holy Spirit to guide us. How many people have you brought to Jesus? It's not too late.
