The Wrap-Up

Titus 3:12-15

Artemas: not mentioned elsewhwere

Tychicus is a name mentioned in Acts, Ephesians, Colossians, and 2 Timothy

Two possibilities: one is that Paul is sending someone to take over, so that Titus can hand-off the work.

The other is that Paul doesn’t want Titus traveling alone-

It’s probably the replacement approach

Zenas and Apollos are highlighted as folks to help in transit

: The Work of the Gospel is never about just one person.

NEVER.

(Except in that it is always about the one Person in Jesus Christ our Lord, but that’s a different angle)

Work with; find others to work with; offer, involve, engage

Note that Titus is the primary recipient of this letter, but Paul closes with “grace be with all of you,” addressed to the work team and the church as a whole

Closing remarks:

Devote themselves to good works—commit, follow, engage in

That is what we need to be about.

But we do not do it alone.
