Ralph Erskine on Applying the Blood of Christ (Part 1of 8)

Ralph and Ebenezer Erskine are among the shining stars of ministers in Scottish Church History. In this first instalment of eight I am going to give you a taste of Erskine preaching at its finest in the area of applying the blood of Christ. He is utilizing the analogy of Christ's blood and water:
"Water, being liquid when poured out, it runs abroad and spreads; even so the blood of Christ that was poured out upon the cross at Jerusalem, it spread about, and spread abroad, as it is said, Zechariah 14:8, "And it shall be in that day that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of this way and half of them that way." This blood spreads abroad as far as the gospel-dispensation doth, of which Christ says, "Go, preach the gospel to every creature: publish remission of sin in my blood" (Works of Ralph Erskine, Volume 4, 121).
