The content of the four verses text centered on Eutychus - the young man that fell and died while Paul was teaching.
The topic " Making Disciples" is a delibrate attempt to expose and remind us of the effort of the pioneer disciples of Jesus Christ in accordance with an imperative command for them to make more disciples and the lessons to learn from the experience of Eutychus. (Matt. 28 vs 19 - 20, 9 vs 14).
Below are some (summary) of the gospel activities of the early disciples (Apostle Paul as the case study) and the lessons to learn from the expirence of Eutychus.
1. The early disciples involved passion and great concern for the spread of the gospel.
2. They travelled a lot. The intention was to achieve "Gospel Global Coverage"
3. With the help of the Holy Spirit and good human relation, Apostle Paul and his colleagues usually pull crowd for gospel teahings. May be why Eutychus had to sit on a window.
4. They make new disciples that would continue with the new Church as they move to other locations for bettes coverage.
5. The manifestation of the Holy spirit and Miracles was popular and real. Paul raised Eutychus from dead.
6. The main and primary goal was to gather seeds into the kindom of God. Materialism was not their habit.
7. They were witness and ambassadors of Christ for real.
In conclusion brethren, i observed we need to improve on our efforts at making disciples to have good records like our senior colleagues.
Shalom!
