Easter People at Cambray Easter 2015, and once again we meet together to remember the pivotal events in the life of Jesus that first Easter weekend. Along with Christians around the world, we will commemorate and celebrate the anniversary of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The events that first Easter are rooted in […]
TDR: 26 March (Isaiah 40:29)
‘He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak’ (Isaiah 40:29) The Lord’s people often feel faint, being burdened with a body of sin and death, pursued and assaulted by Satan, tried and hindered by the world; but although weary and weak they continue to persevere. Waiting on the Lord they […]
TDR: 25 March (Matthew 14:18)
‘Bring them here to Me’ (Matthew 14:18) Our compassionate Lord Jesus was surrounded by a starving, fainting multitude; His disciples had only five small loaves, and two little fish, and yet He had requested them to feed the crowd. The commands of Jesus are often intended to try our faith, and bring us as children […]
TDR: 24 March (Luke 7:48)
‘Your sins are forgiven’ (Luke 7:48) Whose sins? Yours, if you believe in Jesus. The prophet’s witness is that through His name WHOSOEVER believes in Him will receive the forgiveness of sins. If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive all our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. God […]
TDR: 23 March (Luke 8:23)
‘Where is your faith?’ (Luke 8:23) The disciples were in a storm, surrounded by danger and filled with fear; they apply to Jesus – this was correct. They doubt His care, they question His love, and cry “we are going to drown” – this was wrong. Jesus demands, “WHERE IS YOUR FAITH?” May He not […]
TDR: 22 March (2 Peter 1:4)
‘Precious Promises’ (2 Peter 1:4) The promises of Scripture are the promises of our great God; they are all of free grace; they are confirmed by the blood of Jesus; and are exceedingly great and very precious. They are so plain that a child can understand them; and so great that no angel could fulfil […]
TDR: 21 March (Matthew 11:28)
‘I will give you rest’ (Matthew 11:28) There is no rest for the Christian in the world. There will always be something to disturb, perplex or distress us: it is an enemy’s land. But Jesus says: “I will give you rest.” He does so by enabling us to rely on His word, to recognise His […]
TDR: 20 March (Luke 24:34)
‘The Lord is risen’ (Luke 24:34) Jesus died once for our sins, and He rose for our justification. He lay in the grave as our substitute, He rose as our representative. He died that we might live. He lives, and we shall live through Him and with Him forever. He is risen, having conquered death, […]
TDR: 19 March (Psalm 30:5)
‘In His favour is life’ (Psalm 30:5) That is, in the favour of God in Christ. If He has favour towards us, all will be well; And He has! As a proof of His favour He gave Jesus for us, and to us; He sent the Holy Spirit to quicken, teach and sanctify us. By […]
TDR: 18 March (Matthew 15:23)
‘But Jesus did not answer her’ (Matthew 15:23) Delays are not denials. Jesus delayed to answer, but He did not deny her request. He had said, “Ask, and it shall be given you. I will do whatever you ask in my name”. Heaven and earth may pass away, but His word must stand forever. He […]
TDR: 17 March (1 Timothy 3:16)
‘God was manifest in the flesh’ (1 Timothy 3:16) The manifestation of God is in the person and work of Christ, and we are therefore to learn what our God is, and what we may expect Him to do for us. What Jesus was to those about Him, such is God Almighty; what Jesus did […]
TDR: 16 March (Isaiah 52:7)
‘Your God reigns!’ (Isaiah 52:7) Jesus has power over all flesh. He is upon the throne of the universe. He superintends all things. His will cannot be frustrated. His designs must be accomplished. Nothing is left to chance. His hand is in every event. He rules over the world by His power. He rules in […]
TDR: 15 March (1 Peter 4:16)
‘A Christian’ (1 Peter 4:16) A CHRISTIAN wears the name, possesses the nature, breathes the spirit, lives the life, and devotes them self entirely to the glory of Jesus. All Christ has is theirs, all Christ has done was for them, and all Christ has promised they may expect. Are you a Christian? Is the […]
TDR: 14 March (Psalm 144:3)
‘Lord, what is man that you care for him?’ (Psalm 144:3) By nature we are enemies to God, in open rebellion against Him, and justly condemned by Him. We are in love with sin, slaves to lust, servants of Satan. We are blind to our best interests, deaf to the calls of God, and […]
TDR: 13 March (Colossians 3:1)
‘Set your mind on things above’ (Colossians 3:1) And what are those things which are above? Holiness – or conformity to Jesus, and entire devotedness to His service. Happiness – flowing from the manifestation of Jehovah’s glory, the presence of Jesus, and the soul’s delight in His will. Unity – saints above realize close, intimate […]
TDR: 12 March (1 John 3:2)
‘When he appears, we shall be like him’ (1 John 3:2) Like whom? Like Jesus in His glorified humanity – as free from sin, as perfect in holiness, as completely happy. His likeness will appear in every believer. What a contrast with the present! Now, at times, we appear to ourselves rather like Satan. O […]
Receive ‘The Daily Remembrancer’ direct via email
James Smith wrote these daily meditations on God’s Word as an act of love and support for his people in the 19th century. As one of his successors at Cambray, I have set myself the task of re-typing them, slightly updating some of the language, with the hope that many of the Cambray church family […]
TDR: 11 March (1 John 3:2)
‘Dear friends, now we are the children of God’ (1 John 3:2) What surprising grace this is. For what are we? Poor, vile, depraved, unworthy sinners; so base by nature that we do not have one redeeming quality, and even now, apart from the work of the Spirit, there is no good thing. But we […]
