Fellowship
This band of brothers from Asia, Berea, Israel, and all over are fixed on the Glory of Jesus together. Late night fellowship, teaching, and eating. Taking up every moment, every travelling option, sold out and hungry for the work of God in the church everywhere. Poor Eutychus, keen enough to be and stay with everyone who is soaking up Gods word as Paul teaches, but exhausted from the day I presume or the heat of all the bodies and lamps in the room, finds the cool of the night in the window, and then becomes the subject of gravity.
Like Elijah raising the widows son, the providence of God here shines in his protection of people who are close to his will and serving his purposes. You might be worn out and exhausted but still want to be near Him, and bad things may happen to you too. God who raised Christ from the dead will bring you through your exhaustion, and through whatever peril you face.
Paul preaches on. Eutychus is going to be OK. It's not a reason to pack up and go home.
Paul hikes 50km from Troas to Assos. I imagine there were as much wonderful things talked about on the road!
