• we see how Christian love delights to communicate and to hear. It was his confidence in their love; and this is shown not merely in his desire to hear about them, but in the conviction that they would like to hear about him. Can anything be sweeter than this genuine simplicity of affection and mutual interest? In a man it would be vain and curious: it is blessed in a Christian. (“Colossians 4” by W. Kelly)
• Tychicus was also to bear the personal news about Paul’s “state” of affairs in Rome. In mentioning this, we see that Paul knew that the Colossian saints would be interested in his personal welfare, even though they hadn’t seen his face before (chap. 2:1). This is normal Christianity. (“Closing Salutations: Colossians 4:7-18” by B. Anstey)
• To have love and faithfulness combined in one person is a rare combination. It is an ideal balance. (“Closing Salutations: Colossians 4:7-18” by B. Anstey)
