Thought For Today

New Start


Listen Later

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 26th of October, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Gospel of John 3:7. This is Jesus talking:

”Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.”

Then we go to 2 Corinthians 5:17:

”Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”

We must make a new start. We must be born again. That is not a charismatic or a Pentecostal statement, that is a Jesus statement. Every single man, woman and child must be reborn. You see, you telling me that, ”Ah, I come from a Christian family and I was born into a Christian family, and my mother and my father were Christians, and my grandfather and grandmother were Christians. I want to tell you something very carefully, the Lord has no grandchildren in heaven. Do you know what that means? It means that every one of us, me included, especially me, we need to make a clean start. We need to start all over again. Each one of us has to make a personal commitment to Jesus. That’s what Jesus told Nicodemus. Nicodemus said, ”How can a grown man go back into his mother’s womb for a second time?” Jesus said, ”You don’t know where the wind comes from and you don’t know where it goes but you can feel it. You can feel it on your face.”

I want to say to you today, please consider what the Lord is saying. It is so very important. We are living in the last days. Look around you, see what is happening. We need to make a complete change in our lives. Let’s do it today. I want to pray a prayer with you. There’s somebody that’s listening to this message who has been struggling with this issue for many years. Please let that pride fall away and say, ”Lord today, I want to tell you, I cannot carry on on my own, I can’t make it. This depression is killing me. The stress. The responsibility with the family.” I know, I was there. Now let us pray this prayer together. I’m going to pray it real slow so that you can grasp it and it’s going to be very simple.

Pray after me:

Dear Lord Jesus,

I know that I am a sinner, and I need you to save me. You have told me this morning, very clearly, through Your word that I need to be born again. I repent of all my sins and I ask You alone to be my Lord and my Saviour. I will serve no other gods but You. Thank You for dying for me, a sinner, on the cross of Calvary.

In Jesus' name, amen.

Now go out and tell the first three people you meet what you’ve done, ”I have become a born-again Christian.”

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,
Goodbye.
