New Creations

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 26th of March, 2023 and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” 
2 Corinthians 5:17

What an incredible miracle! Just a short while ago, in one of our previous Thoughts For Today, we were speaking about miracles. I want to tell you, my dear friend, without a shadow of a doubt, the greatest miracle that ever takes place is when a person becomes a brand-new creation in Jesus Christ. When I see that it brings joy to my life, it brings tears to my eyes and I just cannot stop thanking the Lord for that miracle. When I am standing on a platform in a big field and I see people coming forward to repent of their sins, to ask Jesus Christ to be the Lord and Saviour of their lives, weeping uncontrollably when they realise what the Lord did for them and they realise the sins that they have committed and instantly, the Lord forgives them, He wipes away their tears. It is something to see, folks. 

I have had the privilege of standing in front of literally thousands of people and when the meeting starts, there is maybe sometimes almost gloom and doom. Nobody knows what to expect. Some people are anxious, some are depressed, and some are bored and when the altar call comes and they come forward to commit their lives to Christ, it is like a completely different crowd. I cannot explain it to you, it makes me want to cry. These people are radiant, it is like they have been washed by the Holy Spirit which they have been, and they are brand-new people, weeping in each other’s arms, husbands and wives, sons and dads, brothers and sisters - it is what I live for! It is my meat, like Jesus said,

“My meat is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work”
John 4:34

I want to say to you today, look up to the Lord Jesus Christ and He will change your life in an instant. He did it for me on 18th February 1979. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,

Goodbye.
