(Acts
20: 9-10)
Seated
in a window was a young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep
as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell to the ground
from the third story and was picked up dead. Paul went down, threw himself on
the young man and put his arms around him. "Don't be alarmed," he
said. "He's alive!"

|
|
Paul went to many
places to preach Jesus.
There was an incident when he went to Macedonia.
|
4
|
|
In the evening
service time, people believing in Jesus gathered to serve God.
They were servants or workers.
|
5
|
|
They gathered and
served God.
Even though their lives were so hard, they were thankful that they could go
to heaven, broke bread, and served God together.
|
6
|
|
Many people gathered
to listen to God's word that Paul spoke in the upstairs room.
|
7
|
|
Among the crowd,
there was a young man named Eutychus.
He had to sit in the window to listen to Paul's words because the room was so
crowded.
|
8
|
|
Paul preached God's
words with all his strength to the gathered people.
And the people asked Paul many curious questions.
They kept on talking until midnight.
|

|
|
Eutychus
who was seated in a window listened to all of the discussions yet he started
to sink into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on.
|
10
|
|
When
he was sound asleep, he fell to the ground from the third story and was
picked up dead.
|
11
|
|
The people were very
surprised so they went down to the place where he fell.
|
12
|
|
Paul
threw himself on the young man and put his arms around him.
"Don't
be alarmed," he said. "He's alive!"
|
13
|
|
After saying that,
there happened a miracle.
The dead young man revived as if nothing had happened.
The people began to praise the living God.
|
14
|
|
The
people went upstairs again and broke bread and ate.
The
people were greatly comforted by the reviving of Eutychus.
|
15
|
|
They served God until
daylight and then Paul left.
|
16
|
|
The people who
gathered to serve God experienced a miracle there.
They surely believed in God who is the master of our lives after seeing the
revival of Eutychus.
|
17
|
|
God solves difficult
problems of people who serve God sincerely.
Therefore we should attend service every Sunday not only in serving God but
also in following God's words in our lives.
