“When life is rosy, we may slide by with knowing about Jesus, with imitating Him and quoting Him and speaking of Him. But only in suffering will we know Jesus.” - Joni Eareckson Tada

BIBLE QUIZ:

**********

(New Testament/Book of Acts) - What was the name of the woman who was a disciple at Joppa that Peter raised from the dead by the power of Jesus? Her name when translated was “Dorcas”.

Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named __________, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and always helping the poor. And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber. And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them. Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them. But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning to the body said, “___________, arise.” And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive. And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
