Today we're in Titus 2:15. Verse 15 concludes chapter two and opens the door for chapter three. John MacArthur says verse 15 “is one of the clearest and strongest statements in Scripture about the spiritual authority of men whom God calls to minister His Word and shepherd His people”. Beginning with the verb “speak” or “say,” Paul follows up in rapid-fire succession with three more imperatives of command: “encourage . . . rebuke . . . let no one disregard.” The man of God could speak in this way “with all authority” because of His authority: the great God and Savior Jesus Christ. From what Titus was to teach we can see what we should learn.
