BOB PEDEN
He was the first to answer the call of mission, the first to recognize the specialness, the first to tell someone else of the unique find.
Thirty years later he was at the mercy of the authorities and he must have known that this time his life would be taken from him.
Andrew became one of the four disciples most closely associated with Jesus, he was a speaker on the Day of Pentecost and then he traveled, mostly by foot. Eventually, to be tortured and crucified in the city of Patras on the Peloponnese peninsula of what is now known as Greece. The X shaped cross he was hung on has become known as "Saint Andrew's Cross." From that time by the Sea of Galilee, Andrew saw a lifetime fulfillment of Jesus' promise to make him and Peter fishers of men.
As exemplified in the life of Andrew, being a follower of Jesus is rough and costly, yet the outcome is never in doubt.
Are you following Him at all costs?
