To Titus, mine own son after the common faith:
Grace,
mercy,
and peace,
from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
Titus 1:4
"Paul greets Titus with “grace, mercy, and peace.”
This threefold blessing:
Grace is a manifestation of God’s love toward undeserving rebels, resulting in forgiveness and blessing.
Mercy is the attitude of God toward those who are in distress.
Peace comes as a result of the restoration of harmony between God and the forgiven one.
....from both “God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.” What a comfort to recognize both Father and Son as involved in the bestowment of all aspects of our salvation." JDM
