Likewise
urge the young men to be sensible;
Titus 2:6 New
American Standard Bible (NASB)
Young men are charged with
the task of being sensible. It seems like a rather short and simple command
compared with the others, but it is no small task and is the root of most
character flaws and sins. The Greek word for sensible literally means to be of
sound mind or temperate and self controlled. The root words are “to save” and “the
mind.” If a young man can learn to be serious and rational, to be self
controlled in every area of life, then he will avoid the pitfalls and snares
that most fall prey to and will not nee to be instructed how to behave when he
is older. If he can learn to “save his mind,” he will save his life. This goes
for all of us. If we are sensible, not controlled by our emotions, desires or
appetites, we will behave appropriately and avoid many of the problems we have
later in life. What do you need to do to “save your mind”?
