What happens:
- Paul instructs Titus in various ways that the people should behave.
Meaning:
- Leaders are called to teach only what they know to be correct, to be faithful, always loving and patient. They must be self-controlled and set a good example for all people.
- Slaves must seek to please their masters, like us and God, and they must not steal or cheat them.
Stuff for us:
- There's a lot of stuff here, all of which we should put into practice. Basically we should live in a way that yerns after God and our actions will be the result of our faith.
- We need to give up our old evil ways and live honest and loving lives. If we do this we will show the glory of God in our lives, we won't need to worry about what to say.

Whats going on?
-Titus is to do some teaching to the Cretans about how to live, whether young, old, male or female - theres something for everyone
-Pauls also giving advice to Titus on how he should be living and acting
-Titus reassured that he is important and can do it even though he is young
For us to take away
-We need to doing this stuff as well as encouraging and teaching others.
-reminder that Jesus died so that we can live and we need to live in the freedom of that and in the hope that He will come again.
-With God we can do and say stuff - He has entrusted us to do it even though sometimes we think we are young, inexperienced or is a challenging thing to say.
