Colossians 4:7-9 (NIV): “Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is a dear brother, a faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord. I am sending him to you for the express purpose that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts. He is coming with Onesimus, our faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. They will tell you everything that is happening here.”
As Selwyn says in today’s study; Paul ‘cared deeply for those whom he counted as friends.’ You can see that in the above verses.
Not much to add to what Selwyn has written – but I do like the prayer: “Father, I too would be a well-rounded person. Help me submerge my will and affection in a larger (God’s) Will and Affection, for it is only then that I can expect to attain wholeness and loveliness of character. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
Paul – a people person
