What does Colossians 4:7 mean?

As he wraps up his message, Paul transitions to points about various Christian friends. Here Paul mentions Tychicus, who seems to be the one delivering the letter as well as other news. Tychicus carried this message, and several others, from Rome and was accompanied by Onesimus. Among the letters Tychicus carried was one Paul wrote to the Ephesians (Ephesians 6:21). Tychicus is also mentioned in Acts 20:4, 2 Timothy 4:12, and Titus 3:12.

Paul makes three positive statements about Tychicus. First, Paul calls him "a beloved brother" (also Ephesians 6:21). Tychicus was mostly likely a Gentile believer and had served alongside Paul previously (Acts 20:4) in addition to being with him in Rome to help deliver his letters. Second, he is called a "faithful minister" (also Ephesians 6:21). Tychicus likely served as a church leader. Only Epaphras is given this same title (Colossians 1:7). Third, Paul says Tychicus is a "fellow servant in the Lord," also a title used for Epaphras (Colossians 1:7).
