Charles Spurgeon Commentary Titus 2:15

"These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee." — Titus 2:15 (ASV)

These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority.

Let no man despise thee. (Titus 2:15)

As I have already reminded you, Titus was a young man; and people are likely to despise the pastoral office when it is held by a young man. Yet they ought always to respect it, whether it is held by a young man or an old man.

God knows best who is most fitted for the work of the ministry. And those of us who are getting old must never look with any kind of scorn or contempt upon those who are beginning their service, for we, too, were young once. You cannot measure a man's grace by the length of his beard, nor by the number of his years.
