I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Monday morning, the 2nd of December, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. 

We go to the Gospel of Mark 1:15:

“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” 

Wow, what a beautiful, clean, crisp statement made by the greatest preacher who has ever walked on the face of the Earth. This is what He says, I’m talking about he Master Himself, Jesus Christ. He says the time is fulfilled. There’s no time to waste, my dear friend, we are coming to the end of another year. Don’t say next year, there might be no next year. The time is fulfilled. Number two: Jesus says He’s coming back soon. You better be ready for that. Aah, but He’s been saying that for 2000 years. My dear friend, maybe tonight your soul will be required of you by the Lord.

Jesus is coming back very soon. Therefore we need to repent. What does repent mean, young man, young lady? It means to say sorry and to stop doing it and start living a Godly life. Then the Lord says finally, “Believe in the gospel”. Stop arguing about it, stop trying to disprove it - just believe it. Believe it! Believe that it is the truth and that it is God’s Holy Word. That is what that scripture verse means.

Now I’m a preacher and I want to tell you something now, if you don’t strike oil within five minutes, stop boring! That great evangelist, George Whitfield said, ”If you don’t finish your message within 30 minutes, even the angels will start getting bored.” We need to get to the point. We need to tell people about the coming of the Lord.

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,
Goodbye.
