June 11

Introduction

Today’s reading includes the story of a young man named Eutychus who becomes drowsy while Paul is speaking and falls out of a third-floor window and dies, but Paul revives him.

Today’s Reading 

Acts 20:1-16

Today’s Key Verse: Acts 20:1a

Paul called together the believers and with words of encouragement said good-bye to them.

Reflect

It may be that the vapors from the many oil lamps that were burning (verse 8) caused Eutychus to become drowsy rather than the length of Paul’s speech. What did Paul do when the young man fell out the window?  What do you think Eutychus did when he got home? The incident brings to mind other resuscitation accounts such as Peter’s raising of Tabitha (Acts 9:36-41) and Jesus’s raising of the widow’s son (Luke 7:11-17) and Jairus’s daughter (Mark 5:35-43). What do such accounts teach you about the power of God?

Pray

Holy God, you are our true source of life, and you promise eternal life to all who believe in your Son, Jesus, who conquered death by sacrificing his life on the cross. I thank and praise you for all your mighty deeds. In Jesus’s name, I pray. Amen.
