Thought For Today

Friend of Sinners


Listen Later

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Friday morning, the 13th of September, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in Psalm 2:7:

“You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.”  Then we go straight to Luke 4:41:

“You are the Christ, the Son of God!” And those are demons acknowledging Jesus Christ as the Son of God. “

Then Luke 8:28, the same thing again:

“What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God?”

The first people to acknowledge Jesus Christ as the Son of God were demons - oh yes! Jesus says that He came into the world, not for those who are healthy but for those who are sick, ordinary people who have never met Jesus Christ in a special way. Folks, I want to tell you, as I record this message, there are Mighty Men Conferences taking place all over the world. Just yesterday I was on a zoom call with men in Australia that will be meeting at Ayers Rock, right in the heart of Australia, to pray for revival for the Mighty Men Conferences coming next year. There has just been one completed in Canada - beautiful!  We have got over 20 Mighty Men Conferences happening in South Africa alone, 5 in a row in 5 weeks.. I want to tell you that God is on the move, and I want to tell you that Jesus Christ is the Friend of sinners like you and me. 

Now, for the ladies that are listening to this programme, I want to reassure you that the reason why Mighty Men takes place, is to teach men how to love, how to respect, how to honour and how to protect their women and children, how to put bread on the table, how to teach their children how to love Jesus and to stand up and be counted, and the Lord is doing that.

Zacchaeus was a chief tax collector and Jesus went into his house to have a meal with him, the disciples said, “Lord, do you know who that man is?” He said, “Yes, I do know who he is.”  I want to tell you that Zacchaeus got converted that day. He was that little short man who climbed up the sycamore tree to see Jesus coming. He gave 400% of everything that he took away from or stole from anybody else. 

I have seen letters sent to me from little children, 10 years old, in that big, beautiful handwriting - it makes me want to cry, “Thank you for giving me a new daddy after the Mighty Men weekend.” Women writing beautiful letters to us saying, “the man I fell in love with 20 years ago came back home this weekend.” Jesus is on the move, and He is here for the sinner and He is here for those who will put up their hand and say, “Lord, I will follow You.”

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,
Goodbye.
