Through Preaching: A Study Through the Book of Titus

A case can be made that Titus, along with Timothy, are Paul's two closest friends.Paul only wrote four personal letters•One to Titus•Two to Timothy and•One to PhilemonBut the letter to Philemon is on a whole different level. It is an appeal on the behalf of another.It is obvious that Paul had a great relationship with Philemon but it was different than that with Timothy and Titus. Paul says of both Titus and Timothy that they are his "sons in the faith." Considering their closeness I find it to be very interesting that Titus is never mentioned by name in all of the book of Acts. Titus was just such a man.He was likely as close to Apostle Paul as anyone alive had been, but he wasn't the one whose name got written.
