Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
I'm sending him to you for exactly this reason, so you can know what's going on with us and so he can encourage you when you need it most.
Sometimes God sends people into our lives just to keep us updated and lift us up.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, the Apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Ephesians while imprisoned, likely in Rome, as part of his missionary efforts to strengthen early Christian churches. He sent his trusted companion Tychicus to deliver the letter and provide firsthand updates on Paul's own circumstances and the progress of the gospel. This practice of dispatching messengers was essential in the ancient world for maintaining unity and encouragement among scattered believers.
