I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Friday morning, the 27th of February, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Old Testament, Jeremiah 20:9:

“But His word was in my heart like a burning fire
Shut up in my bones;
I was weary of holding it back,
And I could not.”

Then we go to the Gospel of John 1:45:

“Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” 

Once you have heard the good news, once you have met the Man from Galilee, you can’t keep it quiet, can you? You can’t keep it to yourself. You have to tell people, “We have found the Lord.” I mean folks, they say that a new christian should be locked up for the first six months because he is like a bull in a china shop. He wants to tell everybody about what he has found. Oh, but there is something so beautiful about it, isn’t it? It is like sitting around a warm fire on a cold night, being next to a young man or a young woman who has, for the first time in their lives, found the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. 

James Hudson Taylor took the Gospel to China, and when he had been there for some time and led some converts to Christ, he went back to England to get more missionaries to come out and help him. When he came back, a young Chinese man spoke to him. He said, “How long have you had the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Britain?” And he said, “For thousands of years”, and then he asked the question, he said “Why did it take you so long to come and tell us? My old dad searched for the truth all his life. He studied Confucius. He studied many of the gods, and he never found Him. He died as an unbeliever. Why did you take so long?”

I want to say to you today my dear friends, somebody out there is just waiting to hear the good news about who Jesus is. Please don’t waste time. Tell them.

God bless you have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.
