Paul was being hunted down! He gets to Troas where several friends are waiting for him. And it's Sunday. Paul's last day with his buddies. So he gives them one rather long message from the Lord. In fact, in that brightly lit upper room, it was nearing midnight. (Acts 20:7-12)
A young man, Eutychus, was listening from a window seat. "He was overcome by sleep and fell down from the third floor and was picked up dead." Paul rushed down and "fell upon him, and after embracing him, he said, 'Do not be troubled, for his life is in him'".
Can you imagine the impact of this service? Paul went back up, had communion with them, "talked with them a long while until daybreak, and then left".
What a testimony to the grace and power of God. "They took away the boy alive, and were greatly comforted."
Lord, thank You for Your great comfort in all areas of our lives.
