Titus

Titus

Titus was one of Paul's most trusted and valuable helpers. He is mentioned several times in the New Testament as the man Paul went to when he needed assistance. There is also a hint that Titus might be Luke's brother. (2 Corinthians 8:18 say that when Titus was sent to Corinth a brother was sent with him- and that this brother was described as 'the brother who is famous among all the churches')

Titus was sent to Crete to be a pattern to the Christians there. To model for them a Christian life. The believers in Crete lacked leadership and were suffering as a result.

Although it contains only forty-six verses, the little book of Titus covers a wide range of topics. It provides information about church organization and a succint overview of how to lead a church.
