Titus is the uncommon book we will be looking at today. There are three chapters in the book of Titus. The letter to Titus was written by Paul an apostle so, from what I researched Titus was written by Paul. This letter was to a Church leader In Greece in Crete to guide him in the leadership of the church in that place. 5 For this reason I left you in Crete, that you would set in order what remains and appoints elders in every city as I directed you. Titus 1:5 NASB.
This letter was to a pastor of the day. If you remember your Bible Christianity, was a young religion. Christianity didn't start until Jesus came to earth and then rose to heaven. so this pastor was young maybe not in age I do not know but in being a pastor of this Christianity. I have already started talking about the main theme, which is a pastoral epistle. As we already look at Paul writing to remind Titus of the charge, He sent him for the duty he was to carry out.
Paul also sends in the letter a warning to Titus and that is found in Titus 1:12 (NASB) and it says, 12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” This letter was to encourage Titus but to also instruct and help in ministry and be on guard with the warning He gave. This is the second theme of this book.
The Final theme of this book is that Paul wants to meet with Titus in Nicopolis. That is pretty straightforward. 12 When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there. Titus 3:12 NASB.
This book can be used today and is just as relevant today as it was back then. So, take time and read this wonderful, uncommon book today!!!
