Reflection: The table we share becomes part of the witness we offer. A culture divided by age expects older people to dismiss the young and younger people to disregard the old. When the church repeats that pattern, the world sees a family. But when generations listen, learn, serve, and worship together, people see what the gospel can create. This does not begin with trying harder to appreciate people different from you. Titus reminds you that grace is your teacher. Jesus gave Himself to redeem and purify a people eager to do good. His grace confronts the bitterness that can grow with age and the arrogance that can accompany youth. It makes you humble enough to teach and humble enough to learn. This week, pull out a chair. Speak with someone from another generation. Hear their story, ask a question, and offer your presence. Jesus is building a family around one table.

Application Question: What one step will you take to build a genuine relationship with someone from another generation?
