The answer is: Eutychus

Acts 20:9

Imagine the scene: Paul was so caught up in delivering his message that he spoke on and on until midnight. Some might say he had a bit of a "long-winded" reputation! Among his listeners was a young man named Eutychus, who, after several hours of listening, found himself struggling to stay awake. Being seated in the window might not have been the best idea—Eutychus not only dozed off but ended up literally tumbling out of the window to the ground below.

This little incident not only highlights the dedication of early Christians gathered around Paul's teachings but also offers a lesson on the importance of balance: even when we are invested in something meaningful, knowledge and enlightenment don’t always require a marathon session. The story also emphasizes community life; Eutychus had a practical response to an unfortunate nap—Paul rushed to him, assuring everyone that he was still alive.

Eutychus’ name means "fortunate," and ironically, that captures the essence of his story. After this dramatic fall and swift divine rescue, he returned to the meeting, even enjoying a meal with others. Eutychus reminds us not only of God's presence through trials but also reflects the resilience of community gatherings where the Divine often speaks—whether through formal teaching like Paul’s or the spontaneity of life's poignant moments. In a way, Eutychus revives our hope that one can stumble, and still be lifted back up, both physically and spiritually.
