Good Works

One character in the Bible who was remembered for her good works was Dorcas. Dorcas was a disciple of Jesus Christ who lived in Joppa. She was full of good works and charitable deeds. However, she suddenly fell ill and died. Immediately after she died, the brethren in Joppa sent for Peter to come and pray for her. When Peter arrived at Joppa, he was greeted by many grieving widows who wept for Dorcas. They shared stories about Dorcas with Peter, and showed him the garments and coats that she made for them while she was alive.
