Acts 20: 1-16
Sorry it has been a few days since I have posted. I’ve been struggling to get a pattern set up for when I do that since I moved. Hopefully, I’ll get one soon so I can be a little more consistent!
I’m struggling a bit to find something to say about today’s passage. It is interesting to me that Paul preached so long that a guy fell into a deep sleep and fell out of a window! It’s amazing to me how God gave some amazingly miraculous gifts to the Early Church (like the ability to raise someone from the dead as in this passage). God knew the task of breaking through these early barriers to the Gospel would be tough. Miraculous gifts would help. I’m not one that believes all of the miraculous gifts died off with the Apostles. I just don’t buy that. But I do think there is probably something to the fact that God seemed to give those gifts when the Gospel was entering new territories. That’s why I think you see them used more often today among unreached people groups.
