This lesson details the story of Dorcas (Tabitha), a beloved disciple in the seaport of Joppa, who was known for her selfless good works. When Dorcas falls sick and dies, the believers, hoping for a miracle, summon the Apostle Peter from a nearby town. After Peter arrives and kneels in prayer, he simply commands “Tabitha, arise,” instantly raising her to full life as she opens her eyes and sits up. Beyond the miracle itself, the account illustrates that Israel’s kingdom program will one day be raised from the dead and be a great blessing to the world.
