Undoubtedly, Paul had to be greatly encouraged to receive as a visitor someone who was representing the body in Colossae, and not only that, the actual likely founder of that church. In the course of Paul’s poor fortune in being locked up, this had to be something which brought joy to this heart. To see that the Colossian church was doing well, and was being lead by a fellow who was indeed faithful. He had told Paul all about the church body, and how they loved one another in Colossae. That’s what he emphasized most, for that’s what Paul brings to the forefront in describing the believers. Love. The foundation principle of love. Notice, nonetheless, in our text today in chapter 4, what Paul actually emphasizes in regard to Epaphras himself. What does he point out? If we look at the text after his greeting, “always struggling on your behalf in his prayers.” This surely insinuates that both Paul and Epaphras had been spending a lot of time in prayer.
