... LESSON...
CHRISTIAN RENEWAL
Lesson for Oct. 24. Titus 3:1-11.
Golden Text: Titus 2:11.
By REV. CHAS. E. DUNN
We know little about Titus. Neith
er his place of birth nor his age is
recorded. A convert from heathen
ism, he was probably won to the
cause of Christ by St. Paul. We first
hear of him as a companion of Paul
on the fateful visit to Jerusalem de
scribed in Acts 15 when the question
of the circumcision of Gentile
Christians was strenuously debated.
The strictly Jewish party within the
Church wished to circumcise Titus,
but Paul and his supporters, who
represented Gentile Christianity, hot
ly resisted, and won a favorable de
cision.
Titus then drops out of sight for
the ner* few years, but it is reason
able to assume that he traveled with
Paul and assisted him in his evange
listic campaigns. We next hear of
him in Paul’s second letter to the
Church at Corinth where he is men
tioned 9 times. From these refer
ences we learn that Titus visited
Corinth more than once as the
trusted representative of Paul who
delegated him to organize and com
plete the collection for the poor
Christians of Judea which the
apostle was so anxious to gather,
and also to restore order at a time
of disaffection in the Corinthian
parish.
There is another gap in the story
of Titus until the period covered
by Paul’s brief letter- to him. Here
we learn that he had accompanied
the Apostle on a visit to Crete, and
had been left there by him to “set
right the things which still require
attention, and appoint Elders in
every town.” Paul charges him to
maintain “wholesome teaching,” to
assert his authority, and to avoid
“foolish controversies.” There is a
tradition that Titus served long as
the Bishop of the Church in Crete.
Titus, like Timothy, was a very
reliable, efficient helper to Paul. He
was evidently endowed with firm
ness tempered with tact and com
mon sense. It is a pleasure to get
the fleeting glimpses from the New
Testament pages of his fine char
acter and devoted service.
