Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:
“Teach the older men to be…self-controlled…”
(Titus 2:2)
I have to confess, Jesus –
this one’s a surprise.
I don’t mean that older men shouldn’t be self-controlled.
They absolutely should!
But I would’ve thought you’d say that’s something the younger men need to learn.
Oh, wait a minute – you do say that – four verses later.
So why do you tell the older men first?
I guess it’s so they’ll be able to show the younger men
what self-control looks like.
