       Back in the time of Paul, Tychicus had to physically travel to Colossae to talk with the church, to physically tell them how Paul and his companions were doing. This would bring encouragement to their hearts. There was no social media feed they could jump on to see instantaneously how Paul and his fellow ministers were doing. That’s probably a good thing, for then Tychicus would have never traveled to the church in the first place. But it’s nice that Paul was able to send a real life person to actually commune with them, one of which had been with him, to actually encourage them face to face. It always gives a high quality appearance when churches can have a minister who in actuality travels to it from another body of believers, one of which is far away, and learn how that other church is doing. There is nothing like having a visiting minister who is physically present, and can literally communicate to the members what has actually been going on in the life of the other church.
