Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 8:50

"But Jesus hearing it, answered him, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be made whole." — Luke 8:50 (ASV)

But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.

"Believe only." What a depth lies in those two words! Believe only!

Ah! Lord, it ought to be the easiest thing in the world to believe you, for you are so truthful; you keep every promise to us, and yet sometimes when we are in the dark, and when circumstances go contrary to us, it is hard to believe; but is not the hardness in our own hearts?

Believe only! Christian, what is your trouble this morning, what is your trial? Believe only, and let your humble faith cast your burdens upon your God. Believe only, and she shall be made whole.

But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.

"If she is actually dead, she shall be raised to life again."
