ANECDOTE

Eutychus Falls Asleep and Revived

Eutychus fell asleep during Paul's long sermon and fell out of a third-story window, appearing dead to the onlookers.
Paul revived him, saying "there is life in him yet," demonstrating a miraculous moment during worship.

INSIGHT

Context of Early Church Gatherings

The story of Eutychus happens early in the Christian era when news spread slowly and many were new to Christianity.
This explains why Paul preached until midnight and the congregation stayed, showing early Christian community dynamics.

INSIGHT

Exhaustion Isn't Holy By Default

Falling asleep from exhaustion doing the right thing (like church) doesn't sanctify tiredness.
Spiritual burnout can happen even through faithful acts when we neglect rest.
