Titus

Who Wrote This Book?  Paul

Date of Writing:  Probably in the year 64 A.D

Why It Was Written.   Putting order in the church of Crete. 

Titus: (IBD) Titus (pleasant) was a "partner and fellow worker" (II Cor. 8:23) of the apostle Paul. Although Titus is not mentioned in the Book of Acts, Paul's letters reveal that he was the man of the hour at a number of key points in Paul's life.

Paul first mentions Titus in Galatians 2:1-3. As an uncircumcised Gentile, Titus accompanied Paul and Barnabas to Jerusalem as a living example of a great theological truth: Gentiles need not be circumcised in order to be saved.

Titus next appears in connection with Paul's mission to Corinth. While Paul was in Ephesus during his third missionary journey, he received disturbing news from the church at Corinth. After writing two letters and paying one visit to Corinth, Paul sent Titus to Corinth with a third letter (II Cor. 7:6-9). When Titus failed to return with news of the situation, Paul left Ephesus and, with a troubled spirit (II Cor. 7:5), traveled north to Troas (II Cor. 2:12-13)

Finally, in Macedonia, Titus met the anxious apostle with the good news that the church at Corinth had repented. In relief and joy, Paul wrote yet another letter to Corinth (II Corinthians), perhaps from Philippi, sending it again through Titus (II Cor. 7:5-16). In addition, Titus was given responsibility for completing the collection for the poor of Jerusalem (II Cor. 8:6,16-24; 12:18).

Titus appears in another important role on the island A final reference to Titus comes from II Timothy 4:10, where Paul remarks in passing that Titus has departed for mission work in Dalmatia (modern Yugoslavia).

Titus was a man for the tough tasks. According to Paul, he was dependable (II Cor. 8:17), reliable (II Cor. 7:6), and diligent (II Cor. 8:17); and he had a great capacity for human affection (II Cor. 7:13-15). Possessing both strength and tact, Titus calmed a desperate situation on more than one occasion. He is a good model for Christians who are called to live out their witness in trying circumstances.

Key Verses:

Titus 1:1-4 - “For this reason I left you in Crete, that you might set in order what remains, and appoint elders in every city as I directed you"
