       “Tychicus will tell you all about my activities. He is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord” (Colossians 4:7, ESV). Tychicus is set up to be the letter deliver to the Colossian church; he is going to be the one that brings them this writing from Paul. In fact, he also did so for Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians, as well as the epistle to Philemon. This minister of God also had a cameo appearance in the Book of Acts, in chapter 20 specifically, when he is named with many other brothers that accompanied Paul to Jerusalem, going ahead of him, when he was leaving behind the city of Philippi, in Greece. Nevertheless, in this case, in addition to delivering the letter, he is tasked with informing the church of everything Paul has been up to, not just what is contained within the letter. This certainly had to be an encouragement to the Colossians, for they were receiving someone who had literally been with Paul, right alongside him.
