Acts 20:7-12 (New International Version)
On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight. There were many lamps in the upstairs room where we were meeting. 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!” Then he went upstairs again and broke bread and ate. After talking until daylight, he left. The people took the young man home alive and were greatly comforted.
This miracle takes place in Troas. In one of his letters, Paul says this:
2 Corinthians 2:12 (Young’s Literal Translation)
And having come to Troas for the good news of the Christ, and a door to me having been opened in the Lord,
Whether this ‘door’ is a metaphor for opportunities to witness or an open portal into heaven, or both, is up to debate. Regardless, the presence of God was potent.
Father God,
We praise Your name for the new life provided for Eutychus. You are a God of new beginnings. Open a door to Joseph, Sally, Chris, Lauren, Gaenor, Mark, Samuel, Erin, Isabella, Christy, Nick, Alan, and David in the Lord! Amen.
I just looked up the meaning of the name Troas. In Israeli, the name Troas means- penetrated.
