I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 14th of April, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go to the Book of Acts 10:41. This is Peter talking. He says:

”…not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.”

Peter, telling the people that after Jesus Christ had risen (we have just celebrated Easter Sunday not so long ago), he said, “We ate with Jesus, we drank with Him. We know that He is alive.”

I want to ask you a question today, my dear friend, why do you doubt the existence of Jesus so much when there is more evidence that He walked on the earth than Julius Caesar, and yet you never doubt that the Emperor of Rome existed but you question the sovereignty and the miracle-working power of the Son of God?

There are none who are so blind as those who do not want to see! There are so many negative people who are talking about, “Did He really live?” Yes, we see the Bible. There are so many fake things around. I do understand that, and I sympathise with you, but God’s Holy Word, the Bible, has never, ever changed. It is the same yesterday, today and forever. You will find that in Hebrews 13:8, and you and I need to believe when everything in this world is so plastic, so undependable.

Now, you say to me, “Angus, how can we know that Jesus Christ has literally risen from the dead?” Very easily. As a farmer, I go out early in the morning before the sun has risen, and I see the stars. They have never changed. Oh, they are so beautiful. I look at the moon, the faithful witness in sky. What does it do? It reflects the sun. Of course, we spell sun, S-O-N. Yes, we need to open our spiritual eyes. I have just become a great-grandfather for the second time, and I held that little baby girl in my arms a week ago, and I could fit her into one hand. But I want to tell you, she is beautiful. She has dark eyes like her mother, my grand-daughter. Her little fingers are unbelievable. When she holds your finger, you say, “Lord, I see Jesus in her creation."

Today, stop doubting and start believing, and you will have a much better day.
Goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Monday morning, the 13th of April, 2026 and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Book of Romans 10:13:

”For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Then we go to Acts 10:34:

”Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.”

God has got no favourites. Anybody who puts their hand up. Anybody who says, ”Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner,” will be saved. He has got no favourites. In fact, I’ll go so far as to say that as I read the Bible, I see so often the Lord seems to choose people that maybe you and I would never have anything to do with. We start with Mary Magdalene. She was a woman who had a very poor reputation, and in fact, Jesus delivered her of seven demons and yet she became His most faithful. What about Zacchaeus? Even the Apostles said, ”Lord, do you know who you are talking to? You can’t go in there, that man is a thief, he’s a tax collector!” Jesus went in and had a meal at his house, and that day they got saved, not just Zacchaeus but all his cronies as well. The Lord has got no favourites, and that is good news, isn’t it?

I’ve heard reports that in Iran at the moment, young people are having dreams of a man who comes to speak to them, wearing a beautiful white robe, with holes in His hands and fire in His eyes. Now, these people have never read the Bible or heard the name of Jesus, but Jesus is visiting them in their dreams, and they are being saved and following the Son of God.

Oh, folks, today let us be careful not to point fingers. Remember people who live in glass houses don’t throw stones. We need to thank God that He will choose anybody who says, ”Lord, today have mercy on me, a sinner.” And He will, and He has, and that is great news!

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 12th of April, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go straight to the Book of Acts 10:15:

”And a voice spoke to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed you must not call common.”

What God has made clean, you cannot call unclean. I looked up The Message translation, and it says, ”… If God says it’s okay, then it’s okay.”

You know folks, we’ve got the situation here where Peter had that dream, vision or trance on top of the roof of Simon the Tanner’s house, and he saw a sheet coming down from heaven and all kinds of creatures and birds of the air were there, and the Lord said to him: “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.” Now Peter said, “No Lord! I have never eaten anything common or unclean in my life.” Then the Lord spoke to him again a second time and said to him, ”What God has cleansed, you may not call un-cleansed.”

People are more important than traditions, and the Holy Spirit revealed to Peter in a dream that whatever God has cleansed is clean, and we need to know that. I’ve got a dear friend who goes with me when I travel overseas and up into central Africa. I have told him and we’ve had a good talk about it, (he’s a very special friend to me. He’s very particular about what he eats. He keeps himself very fit and very trim), I said to him, ”When you go with me and we go into a house, you will eat whatever is put in front of you, otherwise you’re not coming.”

Folks, I can preach the Gospel, and I can see people respond to the Gospel and they are deeply touched, sometimes to tears, and then we’ll go back to their homes. Some people live in very simple homes, and the food that they give us is very simple and sometimes is not maybe not what you and I would regard as good food, but that woman has slaved over a stove to make a meal for us, and it has cost her plenty. Now, if we turn our noses up, as it were, and don’t partake heartily of what she has prepared, it is a great insult to her, but if you eat that food, that will make an impact on her like maybe the Gospel doesn’t even make an impact sometimes, because we are doing what God has called us to do.

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.
