John 1:40-42a Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard what John (the Baptist) had said and who had followed Jesus. The first thing Andrew did was find his brother Simon and tell him, "We have found the Messiah" (that is, the Christ). And he brought him to Jesus.
Andrew was less known. He was totally a behind the scenes kind of guy. He had a heart for the unsaved. He lead many to Christ, one heart at a time. He didn't save thousands as Paul or Peter did but he was responsible for bringing the greatest evangelist of the apostles to Christ.
A Sunday school teacher named Edward Kimball made had a huge impact on the evangelical movement in the late 1800's. He didn't lead large revivals or speak to large congregations. He just followed the Lord's leading and brought a poorly
educated boy to Jesus. This boy quit school in the fifth grade but went on to lead thousands to Christ. He founded the Moody Bible Institute.
D L Moody credited Edward Kimball with leading him to Christ. Mr Kimball's obedience to Jesus was done with trembling knees and lots of fear of failure. He faced down the enemy's best shots and the rest is history.
Very few of us are called to speak to the multitudes. Very few are led to be famous evangelists. All of us are called to go into our world and offer salvation to a hurting world, sometimes one heart at a time. Who knows? Maybe that one heart will go on to lead many more to Christ Jesus. We may never know until we get to heaven how many hearts we have influenced.
