Ralph Erskine

Assure yourselves that Christ will make good his titles that he is clothed with; if the title be, “The Lord is my shepherd,” then I may assure myself, “I shall not want,” Psalm 23:1. Thus do you; when you find distress among the saints, then remember his title, “The King of saints;” when there is a disorder among the nations, remember his title, “The King of nations;” when you find darkness overspreading your souls, remember his title, “I am the Light of the world;” when you find death and deadness taking place, remember his title, “I am the resurrection and the life;” when you are reproached, troubled, and oppressed, remember his title that he is a “Refuge in time of trouble, a present help.”
