Titus 2:13-14

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Titus 2:14

‘Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.’ But the One Who is coming is not just the mighty King and Judge, He is also the One Who gave Himself for us in order to buy us back to Himself (1 Corinthians 6:20; 1 Peter 1:18-19) and pay our ransom (Mark 10:45) by the offering of Himself. The word translated ‘redeem’ means ‘to pay a ransom’. He is the Redeemer, the One Who pays our debts so that... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Titus 2:11-15

( b) Titus 2:11-Ezra : . Its Doctrinal Basis.— The transformed lives thus required from different groups are rendered possible by God’ s own grace, revealed in the Incarnation. This, for all men ( 1 Timothy 2:4), is a saving grace, bringing ( a) ethical discipline ( Titus 2:12), ( b) the inspiration of the Second Advent hope ( Titus 2:13), and ( c) the Atonement on which so great redemption rests ( Titus 2:14). All this ( Titus 2:1-2 Chronicles :) Titus must impress authoritatively. The... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Titus 2:13

Looking for that blessed hope; the object or end of our hope, the salvation of our souls, Galatians 5:5; Colossians 1:5. And the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; and in order thereunto, looking for the coming of the great God, and our Saviour Jesus Christ, to the last judgment.

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Titus 2:14

Who gave himself for us; which great God and Saviour Jesus Christ was not only sent and given by the Father, John 3:16, but freely gave up himself to be incarnate, and to die for us, υπερημων, in our stead to die. That he might redeem us from all iniquity; that by that price he might purchase salvation for us, delivering us both from the guilt and power of sin, who were slaves and captives to our lusts. And that he might purify unto himself λαον περιουσιον, we translate it a peculiar people;... read more

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESTitus 2:11. Hath appeared.—In an epiphany. The Sun of Righteousness with health in His beams had chased away the “hidden things of darkness.” Like the sun’s light, the blessings of grace were to all men.Titus 2:12. Denying ungodliness.—Repudiating any kind of connection with a life of irreligion. And worldly lusts.—Desires that, like carrion-vultures, fatten on the corrupting things of this world.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Titus 2:13

Titus 2:13 The Return of our Lord. I. Note first the hope mentioned in our text. It is the manifestation of Christ in glory. It is the pre-eminent hope of Scripture. Just as, during the old dispensation, the coming of our Lord in the flesh was the hope of the faithful, so in the new dispensation, the coming again of the Lord occupies the same position from the time of Adam, and especially from the days of Abraham, right down to the incarnation of our Lord, what was the action of the faithful?... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Titus 2:14

Titus 2:14 Zeal. I. It is not a quality of nature, but an acquirement of grace, of which the Apostle speaks; for he describes, not what is peculiar to this or that man, but what is common to all converted men. What, then, is zeal for good works? Zeal is intense earnestness in the accomplishment of an object, passionate ardour in the pursuit of it. It is not, therefore, mere excitement of feeling, mere demonstrative warmth of expression, mere quickness of emotion, but something far more deep and... read more
