James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Titus 2:13

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Titus 2:13

‘Looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ,’ And we are to do this in the light of His coming and what will come about then.

( 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).

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
