Titus 2:13

“Looking for that blessed hope, etc.] Not the grace of hope; though that being a good hope through grace, and a hope of blessedness, may be called a blessed hope; yet this the saints have already implanted in their hearts in regeneration, and cannot be said to look for it: rather Christ, the object and ground of hope, who is our hope, and Christ in us the hope of glory, who is blessed for evermore; and in the enjoyment of whom the happiness of the saints hereafter will greatly consist; and whom they look for, and expect from heaven, and who is expressly mentioned in the next clause: but as this may be something distinct from that, it may be best, by this blessed hope, to understand the thing…”

“(Phi 3:20-21). Looking for--with constant expectation (so the Greek) and with joy (Rom 8:19). This will prove the antidote to worldly lusts, and the stimulus to "live in this present world" conformably to this expectation. The Greek is translated, "waiting for," in Luk 2:25. that--Greek, "the." blessed--bringing blessedness (Rom 4:7-8). hope--that is, object of hope (Rom 8:24; Gal 5:5; Col 1:5). the glorious appearing--There is but one Greek article to both "hope" and "appearing," which marks their close connection (the hope being about to be realized only at the appearing of Christ). Translate, "The blessed hope and manifestation (compare Note, see on Tit 2:11) of the glory." The Greek for…”

“Looking for - Expecting; waiting for. That is, in the faithful performance of our duties to ourselves, to our fellow-creatures, and to God, we are patiently to wait for the coming of our Lord. We are to believe that he will return; We are to be in a posture of expectation, not knowing when he will come; and, We are to be ready for him whenever he shall come; see the Matthew 24:42-44 notes; 1 Thessalonians 5:4 note; Philippians 3:20 note. That blessed hope - The fulfillment of that hope so full of blessedness to us. The glorious appearing - Notes, 2 Thessalonians 2:8; compare 1Ti 6:14; 2 Timothy 1:10; 2 Timothy 4:8. Of the great God - There can be little doubt, if any, that by “the great God”…”

“Looking - With eager desire. For that glorious appearing - Which we hope for. Of the great God, even our Saviour Jesus Christ - So that, if there be (according to the Arian scheme) a great God and a little God, Christ is not the little God, but the great one. Titus 2:14”

“2:13 we look forward: This implies hope as well as future accountability, both of which stimulate godly conduct in the present. • will be revealed: This phrase translates a prominent Greek word in the letters to Timothy and Titus (“epiphany” or “appearing”; also 2:11; see study note on 1 Tim 6:14). • great God and Savior: This is one of the few places in the New Testament where Jesus Christ is called “God” outright (see also John 1:1; 20:28; Rom 9:5; Heb 1:8; 2 Pet 1:1; possibly John 1:18). Yet this claim is entirely consistent with the roles and attributes of Christ and the worship that he receives. Possibly this designation is used here to insist that Christ is not a mere human promoted to…”
