Friends

Col. 4:10-11

"Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with Mark the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him), and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are of the circumcision; they have proved to be a comfort to me."

This one's for you Paul, as everyone else was home! Hope you are reading.

We looked up several verses to learn about Aristarchus. He was Jewish, from Macedonia, and the city of Thessalonica. He was on Paul's sea voyage to Italy, he was Paul's helper through danger, and he stayed with Paul in Rome. (Acts 19:29, 20:4, 27:2)

Verse 10 also tells us that Paul's friendship with Mark has been restored, as they had previously parted ways. 2 Tim. 4:11 tells us that "Mark is useful to me for ministry".

You know Dad, he can get a lot out of the details! May you (and all of us) prove to be a comfort to someone today! It just takes a willing heart and prayer.
