Resurrection seems to be very common in the new testament. I was just reading Acts 20: 7-12. It tells of a young man who got sleepy during a long sermon and fell off a 3 story building to his death. Paul goes down holds him in his arms and basically brings him back to life. Here is my question...
Why would Paul do this? If the man had been saved and gone to Heaven then Paul just basically took him from God and gave him the potential, to never return. If the man had denied Christ and gone to hell then Paul gave him a second chance... So did Paul do this for mainly others benefit for them to see the power of Christ if so is the soul of one mans life worth the souls of 20 others in the eyes of God. Or did he do this also for the man. Or only for the man?
I am not trying to question God's motives in any way shape or form. Just to understand the story in more depth. Also would love responses to have biblical backings preferably with the verse. Thank you .
