One Night in Troas

This Eutychus guy. You want to know what his name means? Fortunate. Lucky. Of course it does. Now some commentators have gotten really stuffy, and high and mighty with this picture. “Here’s why you shouldn’t fall asleep in sermons.” You know, “Eutychus gives the lamest picture, the poorest example, the lowest illustration – just, sleeping through sermons. Don’t do it.” It’s past midnight! Give him a break! I don’t think Luke nor the Holy Spirit had in mind to embarrass folks who sleep in sermons here. I just don’t think that was rating high on their priority list here. I could be wrong.
