A Radiant Record (Romans 16:1–2)
In Romans 16 Paul sends greetings to 26 individuals and five households in Rome. It is a chapter filled with names, many of which we might call “hidden figures.” Each was significant in the eyes of God, and no doubt, to their local church. Whether others knew about them is irrelevant. The bearer of this letter, including the bearer of these greetings, was almost certainly Phoebe. In the two verses in which Paul writes of her, we learn that she was a sister in Christ, a servant, and a supplier of help.
