I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Monday morning, the 13th of April, 2026 and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Book of Romans 10:13:

”For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Then we go to Acts 10:34:

”Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.”

God has got no favourites. Anybody who puts their hand up. Anybody who says, ”Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner,” will be saved. He has got no favourites. In fact, I’ll go so far as to say that as I read the Bible, I see so often the Lord seems to choose people that maybe you and I would never have anything to do with. We start with Mary Magdalene. She was a woman who had a very poor reputation, and in fact, Jesus delivered her of seven demons and yet she became His most faithful. What about Zacchaeus? Even the Apostles said, ”Lord, do you know who you are talking to? You can’t go in there, that man is a thief, he’s a tax collector!” Jesus went in and had a meal at his house, and that day they got saved, not just Zacchaeus but all his cronies as well. The Lord has got no favourites, and that is good news, isn’t it? 

I’ve heard reports that in Iran at the moment, young people are having dreams of a man who comes to speak to them, wearing a beautiful white robe, with holes in His hands and fire in His eyes. Now, these people have never read the Bible or heard the name of Jesus, but Jesus is visiting them in their dreams, and they are being saved and following the Son of God.

Oh, folks, today let us be careful not to point fingers. Remember people who live in glass houses don’t throw stones. We need to thank God that He will choose anybody who says, ”Lord, today have mercy on me, a sinner.” And He will, and He has, and that is great news!

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day. 
Goodbye.
