Title: Peter's Two Miracles
Contents
The text records two miracles of Peter. One is to heal Ania, who had been paralyzed for 8 years in Lydda, and the other is to raise Dorcas, who died in Joppa. As a result, many turned to the Lord. Where the power of God is manifested, there is fruit. Pay special attention to Dorga. Tabitha is an Aramaic word for “antelope,” and the Greek word is dorga, which means beautiful and intelligent.

2, Dorga's death
everyone dies Everyone gives birth, but death is not. There is death that is executed for committing a crime, death that is punished by punishment for disobeying God's command, and death that betrays and commits suicide like Judas Iscariot. But Dorga died doing a good dead. It is a death acceptable to God. It is a death mourning all around.
It is indeed a grievous death (38)
3. Dorga's Legacy
When people die, they leave a legacy (wealth, lessons, etc.). Dorga's legacy is
underwear and outerwear. These are clothes that were made for the poor and could not be delivered. You can know good deeds and salvation just by looking at this. and comrades of faith. Even if they do not leave any wealth or children, there are those who follow their care. Raising people is the most rewarding thing.
4. Dorga's Second Life
There were still many people who needed Dorga's help. Peter prayed earnestly to God, and his prayer was answered. As it has been so far, it is a life for God and neighbor. .Your life is a bonus. We must live with a heart that repays grace
Live as an effective witness. When they heard the news that Dorga had died and came back to life, many people who had seen it first believed. Through this miraculous event, the gospel was witnessed to many people. It is the highest work accomplished for the highest purpose, the highest victory, the highest life. This Tabitha died again, but the resurrection of eternal life was promised to us.
