Titus 2:7 - Leading The Way.
Titus 2:7 (NKJV) in all things showing
yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine
showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility,
INTRODUCTION
Paul urges Titus to be a good example to
those around him so that others might see Titus's
good deeds and imitate him. Paul's life would
give his words greater impact. If you want
someone to act a certain way, be sure that you live
that way yourself. Then you will earn the right
to be heard, and your life will reinforce what
you teach. [Life Application SB]
COMMENTARY PEARL
A police officer pulled over a
distinguished-looking woman, the story goes, and asked why she had
exceeded the speed limit. The old gentleman sitting
in the passenger seat laughed and said, "Well,
young man, we were speeding to get to the place
before we forget where we're going!" Getting where
we are going is important.
Equally important are those who are
following us because they are on the same journey;
they just don't realize it yet. Older generations
may have a hard time keeping up with the
younger, but let's remember that as long as we are
still breathing, we are leading the way. Are we
good examples?
While we have all made mistakes and would
like to turn back the clock to correct some
things, we know this is not possible. But the
lessons we have learned from our failures and
successes can help those following behind. The impact
we can potentially have on them can mean the
difference between leaving good memories or letting our
lessons go to waste.
What failure have you experienced that
you can share to help someone else? [Peace for
Each Day by Billy Graham]
