Ephesians 6:21-24
21 But that you also may know my affairs and how I am doing, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make all things known to you; 22 whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our affairs, and that he may comfort your hearts. 23 Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
Paul sent a brother in Christ to let the church of Ephesus know how God was using him and how he was doing. This man was considered faithful and was well regarded, and so was the right choice to bring news of the work and men in order to allay any fears and bring comfort in knowing more than this short letter could tell. Therefore, Paul ends this message by praying for peace from God, love and faith, and grace to the true and sincere followers of their Lord and his. This pattern is an example for us, whether as speakers, pastors, missionaries, or on our own business as we go about our Master’s business. We are to bless and encourage by faithful messengers who represent Christ in us and for us with the grace, love, faith, and peace of God who has reconciled us together as His church. Amen.
