Titus
Titus is seen by some as Paul’s troubleshooter; he took the
‘severe’ letter to Corinth for Paul, and was left in Crete
by Paul to ‘set things in order’ (1:5). Titus seems
to have been a strong character, physically and spiritually,
and Paul certainly expresses less concern for Titus’ welfare
than he did for Timothy’s. Titus was a Gentile, and when
Paul took him to Jerusalem he refused to circumcise him (see
Gal. 2:1–3). He had Timothy circumcised because they were
going to go into the synagogues, but there was no need for
Titus. Notably, in the great council of the church in
Jerusalem, the liberty of the gospel was at stake, and Paul
would not permit one bit of legalism to slip in (see Acts
15) - the church is built on grace not Law. Titus was a
Gentile saved by grace and walking in faith.
In this letter Paul lays out what the ideal church should be
like. Firstly, an orderly organisation (ch1); then, it must
be sound in doctrine (ch2). Finally, it should be pure in
life and character, ready to every good work (3:1). It was
Titus’ job to action Paul’s request.
