Thematic Bible: Sent to colossae

Tychicus will tell you all about my affairs. [Note: This man probably delivered this letter as well as the one to the Ephesians. See Eph. 6:21]. He is our dearly loved brother and faithful minister and fellow-slave in [the service of] the Lord. I have sent [i.e., am sending] him to you for this very purpose, so that you can know our situation and that he can encourage your hearts.
