Start Believing

from Thought For Today · host Angus Buchan

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 14th of April, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Book of Acts 10:41. This is Peter talking. He says:”…not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.” Peter, telling the people that after Jesus Christ had risen (we have just celebrated Easter Sunday not so long ago), he said, “We ate with Jesus, we drank with Him. We know that He is alive.”I want to ask you a question today, my dear friend, why do you doubt the existence of Jesus so much when there is more evidence that He walked on the earth than Julius Caesar, and yet you never doubt that the Emperor of Rome existed but you question the sovereignty and the miracle-working power of the Son of God? There are none who are so blind as those who do not want to see! There are so many negative people who are talking about, “Did He really live?” Yes, we see the Bible. There are so many fake things around. I do understand that, and I sympathise with you, but God’s Holy Word, the Bible, has never, ever changed. It is the same yesterday, today and forever. You will find that in Hebrews 13:8, and you and I need to believe when everything in this world is so plastic, so undependable. Now, you say to me, “Angus, how can we know that Jesus Christ has literally risen from the dead?” Very easily. As a farmer, I go out early in the morning before the sun has risen, and I see the stars. They have never changed. Oh, they are so beautiful. I look at the moon, the faithful witness in sky. What does it do? It reflects the sun. Of course, we spell sun, S-O-N. Yes, we need to open our spiritual eyes. I have just become a great-grandfather for the second time, and I held that little baby girl in my arms a week ago, and I could fit her into one hand. But I want to tell you, she is beautiful. She has dark eyes like her mother, my grand-daughter. Her little fingers are unbelievable. When she holds your finger, you say, “Lord, I see Jesus in her creation."Today, stop doubting and start believing, and you will have a much better day.Goodbye.
