I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Friday morning, the 12th of September, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go to the Gospel of Luke 20:38. Jesus says,

“For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him.”

You and I do not worship a god made of stone or wood, which is carved by human hands. Oh no! He is alive, He is well and He wants to talk with you and me today. 

I have been to Israel many, many times. I love that place. I always go to the Old City and I go to the tomb to see where the Lord Jesus Christ was buried, and I want to tell you, my dear friend, there is nothing in that tomb. It is empty! “Why?” you might say. Because Jesus rose from the dead. He is not there. Even when Mary Magdalene went down early in the morning, to find the body of Christ, He was not there. He was alive, He was risen, and He is well, and He wants to talk with you and me even today. You can go to David’s tomb, also in the Old City, and his remains are there, that’s right, his bones are still there, but Jesus is not dead, He is alive. 

I see Him so often as a farmer. I see Him in the early morning sunrise as the sun comes over. I see Him in the evening, in the sunset when the sun is starting to set. I can see Him in the face of a newly born baby. I can smell the Lord when there has been rain after a period of dryness. You can smell that perfume. He is alive, He is your God, He is my God and the good news is, He is coming back very soon to take you and me to be with Him in His house forever. 

So today, worship the Lord, praise His name, speak with Him because He wants to have fellowship with you, and open your spiritual eyes and you will see Him all over the place.

Jesus bless you and have a great day,

God bless,
Bye.
