"This story is sometimes called 'the forgotten resurrection.' I wonder if that's because it's not a miracle of Jesus, but a miracle of the church that Jesus leaves behind. Tabitha is lifted to life by someone like us. It’s much easier to imagine such power distant from us, coming from the person of Jesus rather than through our lives. It’s far easier, actually, to just leave it all up to Jesus, rather than responding to the needs that call to us, 'Please, come without delay.' Perhaps we overlook this story, because it’s a story about us."
