Colossians 4:7 Tychicus will tell you all about my activities. He is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord. 8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts, 9 and with him Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you of everything that has taken place here.
Having developed his theological framework and then laying out specific applications, Paul began to wrap up his letter to this Church. He was sending this letter to them with some mutual friends and fellow-servants. Paul wanted them to have eyewitnesses that what he had said was true: Paul was doing fine, though in prison, and the gospel was going forth. Having reminded them in the last chapter that in Christ there is neither bond nor free, he send this message with one of each, both of whom he describes and beloved brother and faithful. Paul's actions were consistent with His words. Ours should be as well.
