Day Three : 30th November : St Andrew's Day

Deuteronomy 30:11-14
11. Surely, this commandment that I am commanding you today is not too hard for you, nor is it too far away.
12. It is not in heaven, that you should say, 'Who will go up to heaven for us, and get it for us so that we may hear it and observe it?'
13. Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, 'Who will cross to the other side of the sea for us, and get it for us so that we may hear it and observe it?'
14. No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart for you to observe.

Hear and Observe

from: Times and Seasons. p 102
'Born at Bethsaida and brother to Peter, Andrew was originally a disciple of the Baptist who pointed him to Jesus as the Christ. He brought his brother to Jesus, and introduced a group of Gentiles to him. According to tradition, he preached the gospel in many places before being crucified in Achaia.'
