The book of Titus is actually a letter written by Paul. Paul wrote this letter to encourage Titus in his Pastoral role (Paul had left Titus on the island of Crete to pastor a new church).
The ongoing theme throughout the letter was to set a good example to the people on the island. Paul said, “A Bishop (pastor, teacher, or overseer) must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money. But hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, holy, and self-controlled.” (Titus 1:7-8) The first chapter basically follows this pattern.
The second chapter continues what was said in the first chapter but puts it into greater detail. Paul said, “exhort the young men to be sober-minded, in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent be ashamed, having nothing evil to say about you.” (Titus 2:6-8) That last part I think is big, “that one who is an opponent be ashamed, having nothing evil to say about you.” I think we should all strive to be like that. To get to a point in life where one of our enemies in life, or even the enemy, wouldn't have anything bad to say about us.
Chapter three pretty much wraps up the book when Paul asks Titus to come visit him in his home sometime soon. Then, the book of Titus ends.
I think we should take heed of what Paul said in the first two chapters. What he said doesn't only apply to the Bishops and Pastors. We need to become hospitable and a lover of what is good.
