Andrew's Strengths and Personal Contributions
Excerpt from, Son of Man: Urantia, Chapter 18, pt. 1, “The Twelve Apostles”
Andrew was firm, clear, and logical when needed, but his major strength was his stability. He never wavered. What he did lack was any enthusiasm for praising the others, even when it was deserved. Andrew simply abhorred flattery and insincerity. He epitomized the self-made, all-around, even-tempered, and successful man of modest affairs. Andrew was one of Jesus' inner circle of four apostles, along with John, James, and Peter, but his responsibilities did not allow him to go off with Jesus when he prayed like the others could. Andrew was never an outstanding preacher, but he excelled in personal work, and he was Jesus' main supporter in his plan for the initial tour around the Sea of Galilee. When chosen, Andrew immediately brought his brother Simon into the fold, and that man became one of the most significant preachers ever of the kingdom of heaven.
