Study 17 From The book of Acts
Is: Acts 9:32-42
- What evidences do you find in these verses that a widespread
revival was going on at this time, and that Christ, dwelling in His
people, still moved among men as Saviour, Teacher, Healer, and Friend?
What prayer ought such a record to stir us to pray?
- How do you picture Dorcas? What ideals of Christian character
and service are exemplified in her? Can you find ways to go and do
likewise?
- Peter continues to heal in the name of the Lord Jesus, (a) Cf. Also 3:6, 7,16; 4:30; 5:12-16; 6:8 and 8:6,7 for other examples. (b) Compare what Peter did with the work of his Master. With verse 34, cf. Mk. 2:11 and Jn. 5:8; and with verses 40, 41 cf. Mk. 5:35-43. (c) Peter was experiencing what Christ had promised in Jn. 14:12. Peter believed the promises of Christ and experienced the co-operating power of God the Spirit. The question is---Do we? And if not, why not?
