Epaphras: Intense prayer for others
Possibly it was early in this period that a man named Epaphras, who had come from Colossae in the Lycus valley, was brought to faith in Christ. A hard worker (4:13, a fact which doubtless appealed to the writer of 1 Corinthians 15:10), he seems quickly to have developed into a mature servant of Christ (4:12), and to have been acknowledged by Paul as one of his valued fellow servants (1:7). It was this man whose privilege it was to become the evangelist to his own people.
The immediate result of the ministry of Epaphras was the planting of new churches in Laodicea and Hierapolis as well as at Colossae. For these congregations Epaphras worked and prayed with good success: we know this because some years later (c. AD 62), on a visit to Paul who was now under house arrest in Rome, he can report on that hallmark of genuine Christian life, love, as being characteristic of these believing communities (1:8).
