Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus (Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary | CCE)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Edited by David Platt, Daniel L. Akin, and Tony Merida, this new commentary series, projected to be 48 volumes, takes a Christ- centered approach to expositing each book of the Bible.
Rather than a verse-by-verse approach, the authors have crafted chapters that explain and apply key passages in their assigned Bible books. Readers will learn to see Christ in all aspects of Scripture, and they will be encouraged by the devotional nature of each exposition.
Projected contributors to the series include notable authors such as Russell D. Moore, Al Mohler, Matt Chandler, Francis Chan, Mark Dever, and others.
- Seeks to display exegetical accuracy
- Offers helpful illustrations and theologically-driven applications
- Provides a commentary that busy pastors can use for weekly preparation of biblically faithful and gospel-saturated sermons
Top Highlights
“elders, who are servant leaders, and deacons, who are leading servants.” (1 Timothy 3:1–13)
“Our strength is not in how long we have been Christians, in how much we know about the Bible, or in how long we have been in ministry. Our strength, this very moment, is in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. Our strength is derived from our union with Jesus and is supercharged by our daily communion with Jesus.” (2 Timothy 2:1)
“God has called us as ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ to a ministry of reconciliation. He has also called us to a ministry of rebuke. He has called us to a ministry of comfort. He has also called us to a ministry of confrontation. Here in Titus 1:10–16 the focus is on rebuke and confrontation. In close connection to his discussion of the faithful minister who should be set free to serve our Savior (1:1–9), Paul now addresses those who need to be stopped in their tracks and whose mouths need to be muzzled.” (Titus 1:10–16)
“The letters of 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus are often referred to as the Pastoral Epistles. These epistles, or letters, are labeled as ‘pastoral’ because they have so much to say about the responsibilities of pastors in leading and ministering to God’s people.” (1 Timothy 1:1–2)
“The Bible shapes our beliefs as well as our lifestyle. It relates to both doctrine and conduct, and it is totally sufficient to shape us into the image of Christ by the power of the Spirit.” (2 Timothy 3:16b–17)
