Paul Restores Eutychus to Life
Author, pastor, and professor AJ Swoboda, commenting on this passage, once said, “We hug dead people.” He wasn't trying to find an application in the passage; he was simply observing the high-pressure movement of God’s life-giving Gospel, a trajectory that reverses the deadly curse of Genesis 3. Under the protective covering of the Law, death tainted life, making it unclean (see Num 19:12). Any contact required ritual purification. With this miracle, we see the reversal on full display where life erases death, banishing it from the body through touch.
Questions for Reflection
- What are the significant points of physicality and touch in this miracle? Why might they be important?
- How do you see God redeeming touch in your life, in culture more broadly?
- What feels dead in your life, or in the lives of those you love, that needs to be touched by the life of God through the Gospel?
- How might you be an agent of God's healing, life-giving touch?

About this Plan
Jesus performed many signs, but John recorded seven so that his readers would believe. This plan has the same aim. It presents a collection of miracles that Jesus and his disciples performed, showing us God’s character, His heart toward humanity, and His ability to move on our behalf. Not only that, we have Jesus' promise that through the power of the Holy Spirit, we will do those things and more.
