And he brought him

He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day (now it was about the tenth hour . One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, 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). And he brought him to Jesus.  – John 1.39-42

There is so much excitement here. This are the very, very first days of Jesus’ ministry on earth. He is meeting people for the first time and they are sharing the experience with each other. ‘Where are you staying?’ some the followers asked Him. ‘Come and see,’ Jesus replied.

After spending most of the day with Jesus Andrew did something very touching and powerful.

He went and found his brother Simon – and said to him ‘We have found the Messiah.’ But he didn’t stop with that. Look what he did next – ‘and he brought Him to Jesus.’

There is no greater expression of compassion and caring than to do what Andrew did. Andrew accepted that Jesus was the Christ that they had been looking for. When he did that the first thing he did was to go get his brother and introduce him to Jesus.

There’s not a whole lot to say about that really. I know it is a challenge to all of us who have met Jesus Christ. We need to ask ourselves who we bring to Him.
