Mark 5:43

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Mark 5:43. And commanded that something should be given her to eat.

She might have continued to live by a miracle as she had been miraculously raised from the dead; but it was needless, and Christ never wrought an unnecessary miracle. Do not look for miracles when ordinary means will suffice. "He commanded that something should be given her to eat." When life is given or restored, the next thing needed is nourishment; when you are made spiritually to live, be sure to attend a soul-feeding ministry; and diligently read the Word, that you may get all needful nourishment for your soul out of it.
