Ephesians 6:21-24

Concluding Remarks

Tychius was a Christian from Asia (Acts 20:4), who carried this letter as well as the one to Colosse (Colossians 4:7). He may also have born the letter to Titus as well as doing some further work in Ephesus (Titus 3:12; 2 Timothy 4:12). Paul's love for him and reference to his faithfulness as a Christian servant would certainly commend him to any church (6:21). Since Tychicus would be the one bringing the letter to them, Paul could tell the Ephesian brethren he had sent him (6:22).

Paul's desire for them was the peace that passed understanding (1 Peter 4:7). He wanted them to have the love of the gospel which would keep them in the obedient path (John 14:15; 1 John 5:3). He also prayed they would have the faith that is so necessary to please God and sustain us in service (Hebrews 11:6). All of these things come from the Father and his beloved Son (6:23). Paul prayed further that God would bestow upon them his favor, which was unmerited by them. Further, he desired this grace for those who had an incorruptible love for the Lord Jesus Christ (6:24).
