What Does Romans 16:22 Mean?
A new voice briefly enters. Tertius was the scribe who put Paul's words to parchment as the apostle dictated, a common practice in that day. For one line he sets down his own pen and speaks, sending his greeting 'in the Lord.'
Even the one who merely held the pen was a brother in Christ, and his small service helped give the church this letter. It is a touching glimpse of how the work of God moves through many hands, some who speak and some who write, some seen and some hidden. Tertius reminds us that no faithful contribution is too humble to be named and remembered in the household of faith.
