Andrew is no exceptional person. He is an ordinary fisherman, a normal member of society. Look at the transformation brought about in his life through knowing Jesus. From fisher of fishes he becomes a fisher of men and a martyr for Jesus. There is no greater glory reserved for a man than to lay down his life in the service of the Gospel.

Matthew 4:18-22

18 As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. 19 He said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 20 At once they left their nets and followed him. 21 He walked along from there and saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat, with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. He called them, 22 and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed him.
