No Exhortation with out Encouragment

Titus 2.12-14 provides such great encouragement from Jesus' ministry to us: the appearing of His grace, the imparting His holiness on us, how He is the only source of hope and it's all because of His sacrifice to die on the cross for our sins. In 2.15 Paul comands Titus to exhort God's people to obey (because the aurhority is Jesus'). Without encouragment the pastor cannot exhort. How sad, the pastor or Christian who wants the heavy hand of God as the center of the message without the encoragment of Jesus.
