Dorcas - Her Legacy In Scripture

Dorcas - Her Legacy In Scripture

Read Acts 9:36 – 43.

1. What sorts of things do you think Dorcas was doing?

2. Describe what you think the scene was like when Peter brought Dorcas back to her friends and neighbors.

3. Dorcas was known for doing good and helping the poor. Where do these activities fit in your life?

4. Why do you suppose God chose to raise Dorcas but not any of the other disciples who presumably died in that year and the succeeding years?

5. God was definitely glorified through Dorcas’s life, death, and resurrection. What if Dorcas had not been raised? Would God still have been glorified? How?
