Christ in You
I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 27th of October, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.
We go straight to Galatians 2:20. Paul says:
“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
I read the most beautiful little reading early this morning. It was written many, many years ago by a man named Phillips Brookes. He was an Episcopalian minister in America, and he said something quite profound. He said, "A man who lives in God knows no life except the life of God." Isn't that beautiful?
One of my heroes was a Zulu preacher from southern KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. He was just a young Zulu boy who herded his mother's cattle. He grew up and became a great preacher, a great man of God. He had a tremendous healing ministry as well - William Duma. William Duma was once invited by a group of Christians, with a few other pastors as well, just as a form of thanks for all the work he had done for the Lord - a trip to Israel, to the place where his beloved Saviour, Jesus Christ, lived and walked and died and rose again. The other pastors - there were a number of them - were overwhelmed, and immediately they said, “Thank you so kindly” - not William Duma. He said, "I am so honoured, I am so overwhelmed, but can I let you know tomorrow? I just have to get permission from my Lord, to go, tonight." The man who lives in God, knows no life but the life of God.
That relationship with God will stop you, sir, from falling into adultery, it will stop you, madam, from looking at other things except Jesus Christ. Young man, young lady, that relationship will stop you from getting involved in pornography on your cell phone, stop you from bending the rules, stop you from cheating because Christ in you is the hope of glory!
Have a wonderful day and give the Lord Jesus Christ full reign over your life today.
God bless you. Goodbye.
