"When one door closes, another door opens." I'm not sure that this old statement is completely true, but this story is one instance where it seems to fit. A man makes a sensible request of Jesus and is rejected. But that's not the end of the story. This story ends with a great word - 'amazed'.
Mark 5:18-20
