Our church is studying Titus on Sunday mornings, and our family happens to be working through Titus right now in our regular Bible time together, too. We’ve be making our way through the New Testament over the last few years, slowly reading through a portion of Scripture and looking for patterns and major themes and discussing anything that stands out. During a recent family Bible time, something in the opening few verses piqued my curiosity, which I’d never deeply considered before. As with most fruitful study, it began by asking a question and then led into digging deeper in Logos.
Here’s how Paul opens his letter to Titus:
Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ to further the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness—2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time, 3 and which now at his appointed season he has brought to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior.
Titus 1:1–3
