Second place

You know in any athletic game, not to many people remember who came in second.  For example, many fans can remember who won the super bowl, however, only few can remember who came in second.  I know for me, I like to win.  Coming in second place is not that fun.

Did you know that Andrew is frequently identified in the Gospels as "Simon Peter's brother."  But Andrew didn't care about rank or recognition; his great concern was for others, especially bringing others to Jesus.  He may have been looked at as living in Peter's shadow. 

He was a very important figure.  Andrew did not care about fame, popularity or receiving any recognition.  All he cared about was bringing people to Jesus.  That is what it is all about folks.  Bringing people to Jesus!!! Who cares if people will ever notice you or even mention your name.  Matthew 6:19-21 comes to my mind. 

"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:  but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
