ONE of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew Simon Peter’s brother.
He first findeth his own brother Simon and saith unto him, we have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ, and he brought him to Jesus.
John 1:40—42.
NEVERTHELESS among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
John 12:42—43.

[Consecration.]
I BESEECH you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Romans 12:1.
“Consecration means to be willing to be anything, or nothing, to go anywhere, or everywhere, at any time or at all times for God.”
