CXLV expository sermons upon the whole 17th chapter of the Gospel according to St.…

And 1.¹ Those that can plead Christs Death may also plead his Resurrection, Intercession, and whatsoever glorious actions of his are done for his people; If Christ died for thee, he rose again for thee, he interceded in heaven for thee; When thou sayest he is an Advocate to plead thy cause, Rom 8. It's Christ that died who is risen again, so that the Death of Christ is the foundation of all his other gracious acts: Hence it is that the remission of our sins is attributed to the shedding of his blood: The atonement of our iniquities is given unto his death, because in it he did manifest the greatest obedience unto the will of God, and the lowest humiliation of himself for us, Phil. 2. If then thou hast a propriety in the death of Christ, Christ hath done the utmost for thee even to die for thee; You see that put him upon the greatest strugglings and agonies, if he would have refused in any thing it would have been in this; This was the bitterest cup he was to drink of: Oh then the glorious privilege of him who hath a propriety in the death of Christ, he is thereby interested in all the Offices, all the actions of Christ in all that Christ is or can do for us.
