Titus 3:15 - Homilies By T. Croskery.

Salutation and conclusion.

"All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen."

I. MARK HOW THE EPISTLE , WHICH BEGAN WITH THE FAITH OF GOD 'S ELECT , ENDS WITH GRACE AND LOVE .

II. MARK THE CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS ESTABLISHED BY GRACE BETWEEN THE WIDELY SCATTERED MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH . They are one holy, happy family, united by love. The threefold repetition of the word "all" suggests the deep unity of the body of Christ, in spite of its inward distractions and errors and sins.

III. THE SALUTATION IMPLIES THAT , THOUGH ADDRESSED TO TITUS , THE EPISTLE WAS TO RE COMMUNICATED TO THE WHOLE CHURCH IN CRETE .—T.C.
