3rd Sunday after Easter

Acts 9:36-43: Peter restores Tabitha to life, and the widows praised God

Ps. 23: The Lord is my Shepherd

Rev. 7:9-17: Saints praise the Lamb who shepherded them in heaven.

John 10:22-30: "My sheep hear my voice"

In Psalms 23, David speaks of how the Lord is his shepherd. In John 10:22-30, Jesus speaks of how his sheep will listen to his voice. This shows us that Jesus is our shepherd and we are his sheep. But are we listening to his voice? We should. 

There was a godly woman in Joppa who did good deeds such as sew for coats for the widows of her town. Her name was Tabitha. Tabitha did this in love as she knew that the widows had no support, nor did their government took care of them, so they were very poor. Tabitha became sick and died. The widows were very sad, for who would help them now. She was being Jesus' hands to these women. Peter heard of her death and went and raised her from the dead. Then the widows rejoiced greatly thanking God for doing so (Acts 9:36-43)..

When all God's saints get to heaven, they will sing praises to Jesus who had been their Good Shepherd (Rev. 7:9-17).
