God raised the Eutychus back

2

[ 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!”.

3

Paul is a man who has dedicated his life to preach that Jesus is the Messiah. He preached the gospel in various places. Because of the Apostle Paul, the gospel began to reach the ends of the land that Jesus spoke.

4

The way of preaching the gospel was never easy. Satan greatly disliked the preaching of the gospel, making it difficult for Paul''s work to wherever he went. He was beaten and injustice.

5

God knew all of Paul's difficulties and helped him every time. And that difficulty gave him the opportunity to preach Jesus. The fact that he preached the gospel to a guard who tried to commit suicide in Philippi prison proves it.

6

The Apostle Paul visited a place called [Troa]. [Troa] was a long time ago where Paul saw a Macedonian vision while he prayed. The Macedonian earnestly asked Paul to come and preach the gospel.

“During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him,

“Come over to Macedonia and help us.”” (Ac 16:9)

7

Paul changed his course in obedience to the visionary voice he had seen in prayer and stepped into the region of Macedonia. He meets a woman named Lydia there. Philippi's church began because of Lydia who heard Paul and believed in Jesus. Paul came back to the [Troa] who started the Macedonian mission.

8

When Paul visited, there were already many people who believed in Jesus in the area of Troas. On Sunday, the Apostles and believers gathered together in the attic. There are so many people who have no seats in the attic.

9

The Apostle Paul began to preach the word of God to the believers of Troa. Paul, who had to leave the next day, wanted to tell them as much as possible. Until late, people were blessed by the words of God spoken by the Apostle Paul.

10

There was a young man named “Eutychus” who participated there. This young man sat at the window and listened to what the apostle Paul said.

11

The narrow attic, illuminated by lamps, was filled with many people, and the words of the Apostle Paul continued for a long time. ‘Eutychus’ began to doze off slowly.

12

He couldn't overcome his sleepiness, fell asleep as he sat on the window and fell out of the window. This attic was on the third floor. When people went to see Eutychus, who fell from the third floor, was already dead.

13

People were very worried because the young man named Eutychus died while they were gathering together to worship. The apostle Paul embraced the young man, Eutychus. “do not worry. This young man is still alive.”

14

“Eutychus”, a young man who died according to the apostle Paul, was revived. God resurrected Eutychus. To those who gathered, God revealed his power through Paul of righteousness.

15

Believers who have seen God's power before their eyes have developed greater faith. They went back to the attic on the third floor. Paul and the believers broke bread and shared joy. The apostle Paul preached the word of God until dawn.

16

After a bright day, the Apostle Paul left Troa. “Eutychus,” who died and rose, strengthened the faith of the believers who gathered there. They became more and more convinced of God's living and Jesus' unique Messiah.

17

Satan, who has authority on this earth, does everything to hinder the spread of the gospel of Jesus. The death of Eutychus put the Troa believers into great trials. But through Paul's prayer, God showed His power by saving “Eutychus”. Troa believers had greater faith.

Satan can never beat us as believers in Jesus and become God's children. Because Jesus has already overcome Satan. Therefore, you must be people with greater courage and obedience to God's Word.

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”(John 16:33)
