Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts. — Ephesians 6:22 KJV
Reflection on Verse for Today
Tychicus is truly a model for all Christians today who acted as a messenger not just of the Gospel but also of emotional and spiritual sustenance for the believers during the early church. He had shown love and commitment, and the service for the church. These traits that each of us should strive to cultivate in our own lives as we interact with our faith communities.
So let’s take a lesson and strive to be messengers of comfort and encouragement in our own communities. Our aim must be to fortify each other’s faith and to uplift each other’s spirits while we strengthen the bonds that hold us together as a church community. And by so doing we are not only helping each other but also glorifying God from whom all blessings flow.
