The women in the bible served many roles, some in leadership others served in more background roles. Yet they were included in the bible for a reason. What virtues can we highlight from these women? Please respond to these 3 questions.
1. Who are your favorite women of the bible?
2. What virtues did they have that were most memorable to you.
3. What did they do that has made an impact on you in helping you to become a better person?
I'll go first.
1. Who are your favorite women of the bible?
One of my favorite women of the bible is Dorcas (Tabitha)
2. What virtues did they have that were most memorable to you.
Dorcas was a woman of service and spent all of her time dedicated to the needs of others. She made clothes and helped the poor and because of her service she was well beloved in her community. She fell sick and died and the community was mourned and grieved, because of the good person she was. The Apostle Peter was moved by the story of Dorcas and revived her with a miraculous story of healing that often isn't told about.
3. What did they do that has made an impact on you.
Her selflessness made the greatest impact on me, and how much she was adored by her community (Joppa). For a woman to be admired that way she must have been a very caring and selfless person. I also value how Dorcas used her gift to serve the body of Christ. Our gifts should bring glory to God and serve those around us, especially believers.
Someone wrote a nice summary about Dorcas, I will post it here: http://www.experiencingworship.com/articles/women/2001-6-Dorcas--.html
