The Story Of Eutychus Acts 20:7-10
|
|
On the first day of the week, when we met to break bread, Paul was holding a discussion with them; since he intended to leave the next day, he continued speaking until midnight. There were many lamps in the room upstairs where we were meeting. A young man named Eutychus, who was sitting in the window, began to sink off into a deep sleep while Paul talked still longer. Overcome by sleep, he fell to the ground three floors below and was picked up dead. But Paul went down, and bending over him took him in his arms, and said, "Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him."

The Christian Church has been lulled to sleep by the current American culture of self destructive health behaviors. Christians are dying a self induced death of obesity, diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. But, just as Eutychus, there is still life present. Christians have an Almighty God who can overcome any human weakness, the Holy Spirit as the guiding force in their lives, and the power of prayer which can keep them connected to God. Only by utilizing these Christian principles can the current plague of poor health be overcome.
